A billboard in Ohio has become the talk of Hardin Couny

An Ohio family services organization has one question for heroin users: Do you know where your heroin has been?

An eye-catching billboard sponsored by Hardin County Jobs and Family Services has turned heads with its honest – and slightly disgusting message to potential or current drug users.

"Where has your heroin been?"

According to My Fox Columbus, the billboard refers to 26-year-old Justin Humphreys, who was convicted of trafficking heroin after the car he was a passenger in was pulled over.

Hardin County Job and Family Services director Robert Norman told WLIO-TV that he wants to catch the attention of non-drug users, and parents, to talk about the growing problem of heroin use in the county.

He told the television station he’s received calls of support and anger from the billboard viewers.

"There are people who are concerned for the image of our community. But, you know I certainly hope that people would highly evaluate a community that's willing to face the problems that they're confronted with," he told Fox 28
