Heroin Use Exploding in America

The Bible tells us that in the very last days people will be whacked out and stoned on drugs.

For centuries, humans all over the world have used hallucinogenic drugs in an attempt to connect with the spirit realm.  Of course the only thing this does is to connect you to the demonic realm....but only Bible readers know that, and today we have VERY FEW Americans who read their Bibles.

So it should come as no surprise that even with all the education given in America that DRUGS ARE BAD!.....Americans just can't stay away from wanting to alter their minds.

Heroin Use Spikes Fivefold in U.S.

The number of people trying and abusing heroin has gone up by nearly five times in the U.S. since 2002, and white men are especially affected, researchers reported Wednesday.

It might be because it's more socially acceptable, they said.

It's no secret that America is going through a crisis of both heroin and opioid use.

What's different about this study is it finds heroin use was not always linked to previous use of opioids — unlike previous studies that suggest that people get hooked on opioids prescribed for pain and then move to heroin because it's cheaper.

"Heroin use appears to have become more socially acceptable among suburban and rural white individuals, perhaps because its effects seem so similar to those of widely available prescription opioids," Dr. Silvia Martins of the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University and colleagues wrote in the Journal of the American Medical Association's JAMA Psychiatry.

Deaths from opioid drug overdoses have hit an all-time record in the U.S., rising 14 percent in just one year, and heroin deaths quadrupled between 2002 and 2013.

States hit hardest by the last recession have the most cases of abuse.

This suggests that more than 3.8 million U.S. adults have tried heroin at least once, and 1.6 million have abused it, they said.

"Increased availability and lower heroin prices in recent years may have contributed to increased heroin use," they wrote.

Dr. Bertha Madras, a psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School, said overuse of opioids is almost certainly to blame, also.

3.8 million Americans have TRIED HEROIN?!?!

Let's take a crazy bet and say that very few of those 3.8 million folks have a healthy FEAR of the Lord, few read their Bible, few are involved in their local church and MANY are depressed.

Why?

Because they have a huge hole in their hearts that can ONLY be filled by their Creator....and they have rejected Him so run around looking for anything that can fill that empty spot.

Revelation 9:21
21 Neither did they penance from their murders, nor from their sorceries, nor from their fornication, nor from their thefts.

In the Greek, sorceries is PHARMAKEIA from which we get our word PHARMACY....which means drug use....which means people in the VERY last days will not repent of their murderous, drug induced sexual perversion.

Sounds about right where we are headed.

pharmakeia: the use of medicine, drugs or spells
