## Abstract Illicit drug epidemics are infamous for their unexpected arrival and their speed of onset. Based on ethnographic work with youthful heroin experimenters in the Baltimore metropolitan area, an explanation was constructed based on circulating stories of drug reputation. An agentβbased mod
In this paper, we study a heroin epidemic model with distributed time delays. The basic reproduction number R 0 for the model is identified and the threshold property of R 0 is established. It is shown that drug-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if R 0 < 1. When R 0 > 1, there is a
