"New Hampshire politicians criticized President Trump after a transcript of a phone call with the president of Mexico published on Thursday showed he called the state “a drug-infested den.”
The remark came during his comments on the drug trade, criminal gangs and how he said they affected the state, according to a transcript of the Jan. 27 call published by The Washington Post.
“The drug lords in Mexico are knocking the hell out of our country,” Mr. Trump told President Enrique Peña Nieto of Mexico.
“They are sending drugs to Chicago, Los Angeles and to New York,” Mr. Trump continued. “Up in New Hampshire — I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den — is coming from the southern border.”
Just FYI Mr. President. Telling other leaders of countries the only reason you could even possibly win the title and position of Commander and Chief of the United States of America was based on drug addicts, does not speak to highly about you or your own behavior. But at least the world now knows that it was only caused by people who were clearly not in their right frame of mind. But your one honest moment of clarity explaining how and why it could even possibly have happened, is greatly appreciated! So what actions do you plan to take other than pointing fingers and cutting all funding required to help?

Report: Substance Abuse Costing NH Over 2B
May 8, 2017
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — An advocacy group estimates drug and alcohol abuse cost New Hampshire $2.36 billion in 2014 in lost productivity, health care and strains on the criminal justice system.
A report released by New Futures shows the growing economic toll of the crisis — up more than $50 million from the two previous years — as well as a growth in the number of people seeking treatment under provisions in former President Barack Obama's health care law.
The report also shows that while opioid abuse is increasing, alcohol abuse remains a more significant addiction problem, with more than 110,000 New Hampshire workers experiencing alcohol dependence.
New Hampshire has one of the highest per capita death rates due to drug overdoses in the nation, with nearly 500 people dying from an overdose last year. The report estimates more than 30,000 people in New Hampshire over the age of 15 abused drugs in 2014. New Hampshire is second only to Rhode Island in the percentage of people over age 12 with alcohol and drug dependence, federal data shows.
"There's no price we can place on the lives lost," said Kate Frey, New Futures' director of advocacy.
Most of the $2.36 billion in costs comes from lost worker productivity, estimated at roughly $1.5 billion. Elsewhere, the report finds substance abuse costs the state more than $330 million in health care and more than $306 million in the criminal justice system.
The number of insurance claims for substance abuse treatment in the state jumped from 63,000 in 2012 to 390,000 in 2014, the report shows. And more than 10,000 low-income people on Medicaid expansion have accessed substance abuse treatment since the law took effect.
'Our families are dying' New Hampshires Herion Crisis

"A Town under Siege
Situated along the I-93 interstate between the state’s two largest cities of Manchester and Nashua, the small town of Londonderry is at the center of a drug-trafficking route where heroin cuts across socio-economic and political lines.
Ed Daniels has worked with the Londonderry Fire Department for 11 years. For most of that time, he says, he saw one or two overdose cases a year. He says he now sees at least one every shift. He says the victims he treats come from all demographics. “There’s no rhyme or reason to it,” said Daniels.
Daniels says the numbers began to spike last summer and have continued to rise, unabated. He blames the increase on fentanyl — an extremely potent pain killer drug that is now commonly cut with heroin to produce a more intense high — and feels, at times, that there is little long-term that he can do for his patients.
"They can leave the hospital," said Daniels. "[But] once they have the addiction, where can they go for help?"
For Londonderry Fire Department Chief Darren O’Brien, who has lived his entire life in Londonderry, “it’s hard to see what’s going on in a community you grew up in.”
O’Brien noted that there were 82 reported overdoses last year — nearly three times the 31 reported cases in 2014. “I’m hoping we can get a handle on it,” he said.
