Drug use in Vermont

Vermont: America’s Heroin Capital - Health Street

Once upon a time in the little state of Vermont was most known for Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, maple syrup, dairy farms, liberal views and of course, Bernie Sanders. Unfortunately, the Green Mountain State is swiftly becoming known for something a lot less pleasant than its previous claims to fame and has even earned a new nickname along the way. These days Vermont is being called the "America's Heroin Capital" thanks to the out of control use of the drug and its devastating effects.
