A spate of synthetic heroin overdoses over the weekend has brought the drug back into the headlines. 54 overdose presentations were reported in total, giving many who know the city's history a terrifying flashback to the heroin epidemic of the 80s. Our reporter Sarah Madden has been investigating the lasting legacy of drugs in the Capital, where experts warn the worst may be yet to come.

Drug deaths in Belfast are more than double what they were a decade ago, with 15 young people dying on city centre streets within just one-month last summer. A bid to introduce an overdose prevention room has recently received overwhelming support within Belfast City Council to tackle the issue, but not everyone supports the idea. Niamh Campbell is joined by the Belfast Telegraph's Andrew Madden, QUB professor Dr Gillian Shorter and former heroin addict, Stephen Clarke, to discuss.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode I talk about the biological, social and cultural consequences of punishing addiction, a counterproductive habit that's become so normalized in the US that many of us can't imagine doing things any other way. But as the data make clear, the best way to get people to stop using drugs is to get them to want to stop using drugs. And the best way to get them to want to stop is to just give them their drugs and stick around until (or if) they want to reduce or halt their use. Addiction rates in people who make less than $20k per year are three times those of people who make more than $50k per year (Centers for Disease Control, “Today's Heroin Epidemic,” updated regularly https://www.cdc.gov/vitalsigns/heroin/index.html )For info about 12-step programs, success rates and huge failure rates, see the Atlantic article, "The Surprising Failures of 12 Steps"Drug use rates in US versus other countries: see the UN Drug Report (I used the 2014 version here, but they all have the same info). For information about how prison makes criminality worse (in 11 out of 23 studies in this meta-analysis), check out Martin Killias and Patrice Villetaz, “The Effects of Custodial vs Non-Custodial Sanctions on Reoffending: Lessons from a Systematic Review,” Psicothema 10, no. 1 (2008).For the study in Baltimore with a group of 1300 addicted people, authors found that one out of five IV drug users stopped using between 1988 and 2000, and that those who spent time in jail during that time were half as likely to be in the group who stopped using: N. Galai, et al., “Longitudinal Patterns of Drug Injection Behavior in the ALIVE Study Cohort, 1988-2000: Description and Determinants,” American Journal of Epidemiology 158, no. 7 (2003).Another study found the same thing in Canada from 1996-2005: recent incarceration made it half as likely for an addicted person to have stopped using drugs post-release: K DeBeck et al., “Incarceration and Drug Use Patterns across a Cohort of Injection Drug Users,” Addiction 104 (2009).For more about kids who were given custodial sentences, like jail or juvenile hall, and were three times more likely to be arrested as adults then those who were charged with the same crimes as kids, but given non-custodial sentences, like probation or house arrest, see A. Aizer and J. J. Doyle, “Juvenile Incarceration & Adult Outcomes: Evidence from Randomly-Assigned Judges,” National Bureau of Economic Research, (February, 2011). For more about 2/3 of people in drug studies valuing reward over punishment, see Sarah Bechara, Sara Dolan, And Andrea Hindes, “Decision-Making and Addiction (Part II): Myopia for the Future or Hypersensitivity to Reward?” Neuropsychology 40, no. 10 (2002): 1690-1705.For more about the Learning Disorder model of addiction, see Maia Szalavitz's work, or my book, Dr. Junkie: One Man's Story of Addiction and Crime that will Challenge Everything you know about the War on Drugs. Addiction rates across the US from current CDC numbers and from D. A. Regier, et al., “Comorbidity of Mental Disorders with Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse: Results from the Epidemiological Catchment Area (ECA) Study,” JAMA 264, no. 19 (1990).   People forced into treatment don't do any better than those who volunteer to go, but they do, on average, stay longer: see A.

In the 1990s, Switzerland decided to tackle one of Europe's worst drugs epidemics by trying radical new policy ideas including providing safe-injection rooms for addicts and even prescribing pure heroin. The new strategy dramatically cut overdoses, HIV infections and the number of new users, and in 2008 the Swiss voted in a referendum to enshrine the changes permanently in law. Zak Brophy talks to Andre Seidenberg, a Swiss doctor who worked with addicts for decades, and to former Swiss president Ruth Dreifuss, who campaigned for the change in policy.

Mary Sue Connolly has worked for CNN, CBS, and VideoFashion. She has also directed, edited, and produced several projects including The Great Gathering, Glenafooka: Glen of the Ghost, and her new project The Petersburg Film. Petersburg is a small community in Appalachia that has been devastated by the Opioid Epidemic that is sweeping the United States.This documentary feature follows the perspectives of various members of the community, with a focus on a former drug dealer named Bre (who also serves as producer on this project).Having grown up in a home torn apart by drugs and forced to survive by any means necessary, her story offers one of hope.She transformed her life after serving five years in federal prison, much of it in solitary confinement. Bre weaves the narrative as she tours the decimated region, blending her personal story of addiction and destitution with that of the rest of the town’s victims.Petersburg focuses further on giant pharmaceutical companies and their responsibility for the over-distribution of legal addictive opioids and the consequences that have led to the escalation of both a legal and illegal drug epidemic.At the epicenter of this American tragedy the question becomes; who are the true drug dealers?Topics covered in this episode: Addiction, Making a difference, Storytelling, the Opioid and Heroin Epidemic, Taking Action, and so much more.Website: https://www.petersburgfilm.com/Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/326398424/petersburgLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marysueconnolly/

This week, we are talking about what's being called America's "heroin epidemic". Not too many years ago, the war on drugs demonized addicts of heroin, crack and various other illegal drugs. The opioid use in America has spread to a more affluent (and frankly, whiter) demographic and we're noticing the response has become more subdued than in the past and has been more about prevention and treatment than incarceration. Why the shift? Is this going to produce more of a humane response for all or just a select few? Also, how does marijuana legalization factor into all of this? We attempt to answer these question and give our views on how we think this'll effect us going forward in the current administration.

Addicted to heroin for ten years, this week’s caller got clean because she wanted to be a good mother to her new son. She tells Chris about how she started using when a high school boyfriend introduced her to pills. Eventually she was living in her car and spending time in jail, where she networked with other addicts and dealers.

Mark Thornton is a Senior Fellow at the Mises Institute. He is the author of many books, including The Economics of Prohibition (which you can access for free here), which is also the topic of this episode. 1. Does drug prohibition help stop poverty and homelessness? The conventional wisdom on drugs is simple: you see drugs and drug abuse mixed with poverty and homelessness and it makes intuitive sense that drugs play a role in causing poverty. It seems to follow that by criminalizing drugs, you can take them out of the equation and help solve the other problems. Mark disputes this conventional wisdom. First, the causation doesn't necessarily go from drugs to poverty. Poverty can cause people to abuse drugs and mental illness can cause both self-medication and poverty. Second, if you legalize drugs, they won't be sold on the street. Instead, they'll be sold by legitimate businesses with a particular interest in maintaining their reputation and not harming their customers. Prohibition is what creates the black market, which in turn generates violence, crime, and more potent and dangerous drugs, all of which exacerbate poverty. You can't clean up the social problems related to drugs by criminalizing them when criminalizing them is what caused many of those problems. 2. The Suburban Heroin Epidemic Mark recently authored an article called The Legalization Cure for the Heroin Epidemic. In the article, he calls attention to the rising number of overdose deaths in the United States: The number of drug overdoses in the US is approaching 50,000 per year. Of that number nearly 20,000 are attributed to legal pain killers, such as Oxycontin. More than 10,000 die of heroin overdoses. I believe these figures vastly underestimate the number of deaths that are related to prescription drug use. The face of drug abuse has changed in recent decades. Rather than the homeless junkie we might picture when we think of addiction, the new addicts are middle-class people who have been over-prescribed legal opiates like such as Oxycontin and Vicodin. Doctors have been routinely prescribing these addictive opiates and many people turn to the black market rather than going cold turkey when their prescriptions expire. The problem is that Oxycontin and Vicodin are very expensive on the black market, so many of these unintentional addicts turn to heroin as a cheaper substitute. The problem with buying black market heroin is that you don't know what you're getting. Different addicts need different doses, and you don't know what kind of dose you're getting and what it's been cut with. All it takes is one particularly strong dose to cause an accidental overdose. 3. American Foreign Policy and the Supply of Opiates Afghanistan is the largest grower of illicit opium, and the supply has greatly increased since its invasion in 2001. The invasion destroyed the country's legitimate economy and many farmers turned to opium production. Being a huge and basically lawless country with a perfect climate for growing poppies, the global supply of opium exploded. 4. Political Lies to Support Drug Prohibition Mark discusses the political circumstances around the prohibition of marijuana in the United States. Marijuana prohibition went national with the passage of the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937. It too quickly changed from a measure to tax and regulate into an outright prohibition. Even hemp, the non-intoxicating form of cannabis was banned! When propaganda claiming that marijuana was deadly and caused insanity, violence, and criminal behavior was debunked (aka Reefer Madness), the "gateway theory" was born to fill the void. The gateway theory posits that while marijuana might not be addictive or dangerous, it would lead the user to try the hard drugs, such as heroin. This theory became the prevailing view in the second half of the twentieth century. Commissioner Harry J. Anslinger made up this gateway theory on the spot when arguing for the prohibition of marijuana. Unfortunately, the argument stuck. Recently, a quote by John Ehrlichman, Richard Nixon's domestic policy advisor (and Watergate co-conspirator) has resurfaced on the internet: "The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did." This quote shows how drug prohibition has long be complicit with the politics of bigotry. 5. Progress Against the War on Drugs Despite the sordid history of drug prohibition in the twentieth century, we've made slow progress towards a sane drug policy. Marijuana's many health benefits cannot be denied, and legislators are starting to take notice. Medical marijuana has been legalized in many places, and some places have even legalized it for recreational use. Meanwhile, some jurisdictions have switched from treating drugs as a criminal issue to treating them as a medical issue. Portugal legalized all drugs in 2001. Some police chiefs have even unilaterally changed course in how they deal with addicts, offering help rather than incarceration. We can only hope that complete legalization is just around the corner.

From Rolling Stone to The Christian Science Monitor; WKYC Cleveland to CWRU’s Observer, reports tell us that heroin has become more common and a major killer. Cory Monteith and Philip Seymour Hoffman are highly publicized, “sentinel” cases. But overdoses killed 195 people in Cuyahoga County in 2013 – up from 40 in 2007, and more than the deaths from homicide or vehicle accidents. Heroin use is both personal and social. Lee Hoffer, Associate Professor of Anthropology, studies the social world of illicit drug use. Among his works is Junkie Business: The Evolution and Operation of a Heroin Dealing Network. Associate Professor of English Michael Clune’s searing memoir of his own addiction, White Out: The Secret Life of Heroin, was chosen as one of the best books of 2013 by The New Yorker and NPR’s On Point. Join them for a broad discussion of the puzzles and issues raised by heroin’s presence in modern life.
