Kansas Heroin Abuse on the Rise

Kansas Heroin AddictionWhile Methamphetamine continues to be the primary drug of concern in Kansas, heroin addiction and heroin abuse is on a significant rise in the Sunflower state. The main reason why there is such a significant increase in heroin usage rates in Kansas is because of the wide-spread availability of the drug. This significant amount of black tar heroin being trafficked from Mexico, has caused the price to go down dramatically. This wide-spread availability coupled with the low cost of purchasing heroin has led to a dramatic rise in heroin addiction and overdoses all across the state. Areas around Kansas City, Topeka and Wichita have been the hardest hit communities.

What is even more concerning about this heroin crisis is a new, much purer form of heroin being imported from Mexico known as white heroin. White heroin is much purer than standard black tar heroin and is selling on the streets of Kansas for as little as $10 a bag. White heroin has been the cause of countless of overdose deaths in Kansas over the last 5 years, and there are widespread reports of ultra-pure white heroin that is killing users instantly.
