Here in North Texas, mostly in affluent Plano (now corp HQ US for Toyota among others), the late 90s was awash in high quality Mexican heroin. It made it to the affluent areas where the hooked became dealers to support their own habits. Like you say, a story as old as time…A new way humans can get their kicks but end up ass over teakettle…the story follows. Also, many of the kids had originally been swiping pills from their parents when first experimenting, found feeling high is awesome and withdrawls are not…pills turned snorting turned to shooting. I specifically remember 9 teenager OD deaths in like a 3-6 month period that made the news, and probably a couple more through social circles of friends and their older siblings. It really hit home for me about the reality of drug economics Christmas Eve morning of 98 or 99 when our entire street up and down the block were witnessing a family’s oldest son of 2 being taken out in a body bag after overdosing at a party the night before and his friends “dropped him off at home he seemed okay” Yeah, stuff like that will stick and in my case always say the kids get the money from somewhere, and if they don’t have any, they find something they can hustle to those who do have it. Repeat, rinse.
