In manysmall and medium-size towns, heroin fatalities areoutnumbering homicides.Second, the marijuana legalization initiativesthat are just beginning to take effect in Coloradoand Washington State are going to fundamentallychange how the nation looks at marijuana. Manyjurisdictions have had medical marijuana for a longtime, but legalization of recreational marijuana israising many new issues."--Page 7.
