This became about heroin when the last chart showed a decline in prescription painkillers issued by doctors in weed-legal states. If those numbers are legit, this will also lead to a decline in heroin addiction. Because heroin addicts don't generally start out on street level smack. They start out on Vicodin, Percocet, Oxys, whatever their doctor gave them for their tennis elbow.
So it's not 'swapping one poison for another'. Your words. Nobody trades a weed problem for a heroin one. Nobody.
