    Addiction in New Jersey: I'm out of f---ing hope

    I'm Jay Lassiter, a former IV drug user who found the grace to amend my life. For 12 episodes of "Heroin Uncut: The Truth About the Crisis," I've been sharing not only my own stories, but those of people on the frontlines of our statewide battle against addiction. It was originally my intention to end this series on a hopeful note. But here's the thing: I'm not hopeful. Not even a little bit.

    Addiction is a definitely a disease -- Why this addict is so sure

    Is addiction to drugs a disease? How about alcohol dependence? It's an ongoing debate in the media, around kitchen tables, and online -- Especially with with New Jersey's opiate crisis getting more and more out of control. I know my answer. But I want to be clear: Heroin addicts who won't admit the role they played in their own misfortune will not succeed in recovery.  Heroin Uncut is a special project of NJ1015.com and Townsquare Media.

    Marijuana vs opioids -- the legal one kills

    What is the matter with our drug policy? Under federal law and in many U.S. states, marijuana remains illegal -- even though it's far safer than many of the substances we can all get our hands on. Fake an injury and a few hours later, you can have a handful of perfectly legal opioids that start you on a deadly path to addiction. In this episode of Heroin Uncut: The Truth About the Crisis, Jay Lassiter explores the contradictions that kill in our drug policy. More episodes, videos and info at HeroinUncut.com.

    Carter Stone was 'better than the addiction' -- but it killed him anyway

    Carter Stone was a Jersey boy. And when he died of a heroin overdose at the age of 32, his grieving family was predictably distraught -- like any other family in their position would be. But what's different about this family is the message it left behind. But it's his obituary -- and the frank tale it told of a man in recovery who made one horrible choice -- that caught our attention.  More episodes, videos and info at HeroinUncut.com.

    The trouble with Narcan

    Narcan has been deployed over 18,000 times to reverse an opiate-induced Overdose in our home state of New Jersey alone. It's an undisputed life-saver.

In this latest episode of Heroin Uncut, Jay makes the case for prevention and treatment -- for avoiding the need for Narcan entirely. And he talks to someone who's been brought back from the brink.
