I hope Herron gets help before its too late. As someone who's lost a close friend to the throes of smack, I know how awful the drug can be. It's 99% of the time a downward spiral from that first time taking the drug. the high never gets better and you use and use and use, always chasing the dragon, looking for the ultimate high that's never coming. My friend died at the age of 34, looking for that ultimate thrill ride that many users try to find in a speed ball. He could never find that "perfect high" again that he experienced the first time he slammed heroin, so onto a heroin/cocaine mix. It's probably the most lethal of all drug combos, and it ended his life.
