Massachusetts faces a massive heroin epidemic. Over the course of the year there have been hundreds of overdoses that have resulted in the loss of life. I believe it's important to look at this issue from a human perspective. Every one of the individuals who has died is somebody's child, many were fathers, brothers, sisters and even grandfathers. Poor towns and neighborhoods are not the only ones facing this problem. It is a problem that every town and neighborhood faces in Massachusetts. In order to prevent further human suffering we need to develop a compassionate response. Not only do we need to prevent further people from developing addiction we need to help treat those struggling to escape it. If elected I will do my best to help develop a comprehensive plan to combat this epidemic.
