Heroin in the USA
The death of Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman has shined a light on the expanding reach of heroin in the US. According to the White House’s Office of National Drug Control Policy, the number of deaths involving heroin surged 45 percent between 1999 and 2010. The rising demand coincides with a huge increase in poppy production in both Afghanistan and Mexico. RT’s Ramon Galindo shows us the changing face of addiction in the US.
