"[David] Spakowitz detailed that heroin is more used by teenagers because it's simply not as hard to use as it was a generation ago... 'From about the mid-90s, there's been such an increase in the quality of heroin that makes it snortable. There's not the stigma associated with needles.'"He also said the leap from marijuana or alcohol to harder drugs like heroin is being made more quickly; sometimes in as little as a year. Spakowitz encouraged parents to pay attention to their children's behavior, watch for signs of drug use, and seek help immediately if they know their child is using.
