The Production of Heroin Legalized by the New York State

Listen to this article

An entertainment website “Empire News” published an article on 15^th February 2016 with a claim that New York State legalized the production of heroin. This week a new record added in the history that New York State has legalized the production of heroin. This incident took place just after some weeks of the wave of legalization of marijuana across the State. The use of heroin will be fully legalized in the State at the end of 2016. Most of the rumors said that this step was taken due to monitoring and imposing taxes on drugs, such as marijuana and heroin. It would allow in the creation of a new job market. It will be more beneficial for all the aspects especially in getting more taxes and massive increase in the State Revenues.

When we tried to find out its authenticity, we find that entire story published in the above article is false and a piece of fiction collected from “Empire News”, as it is considered a fake news website. This website clearly mentioned in its disclaimer that it is publishing “satire” news, articles and stories. The website “Empire News” is publishing stories just for entertainment purpose. This website and its related social media are using fictional names only, any kind of similarity in the names and events should be considered as accidental mistake. In spite all the facts, the Mayor of New York State has presented a plan that allow the use of heroin but under the specific medical supervision. But, the claim published by the “New York Times” that New York State has legalized the production of heroin is not true.
