WDRB 3

upon looking at WDRB's past reported stories I find a particular liking to a few; this being one of them. This article is an excellent piece because of how thorough the writer wasin researching the piece. For example it gave statistical data when it was said that at least, "96% of detox beds at a local drug recovery center are filled with heroin addicts." The part of the story that is the most interesting is that people are turing to heroin because it is cheaper then pain medicine. It can not be said for all addicts but for some the reason for taking heroin is for pain. Mike Hall was interviewed and he said "An 80 milligram of a medication I would pay $80 but for a half a gram of heroin I would pay $50."
