Matthew Feeney Discusses Heroin on HuffPost Live at 1:30pm ET

At 1:30pm ET I will be on HuffPost Live discussing heroin with Maia Szalavitz of Time, who has written an article titled "Philip Seymour Hoffman Didn't Have to Die," and Jeff Deeney, who supports injections sites for heroin users.

Watch live here.

Reason senior editor Jacob Sullum has recently written on whether heroin use is "soaring" and on how prohibition makes heroin more dangerous.

Reason is backtagging every heroin story as PSH.

Looking at that photo makes me want to design an aesthetically pleasing heroin cooking apparatus and offer it for sale on etsy.

I'd rather get tips on markets susceptible to heroin arbitrage than read about the vapid self-absorbed do-gooderism of No Labels dimwits trying to convince themselves they weren't overwhelmingly rejected at the polls for good reason.

Tips on markets susceptible to heroin arbitrage? Move to a border town.

Whether or not you give a shit about Hoffman, it's a good tie in for discussion of prohibition of drugs other than pot. Arguing for pot legalization is easy. I'm glad to see more on other "bad" drugs where the "well, pot's not so bad" argument doesn't apply.
