good stuff :thumb: it's dirt cheap to make btw so its of no real cost
this country does do this, but getting a special license from the home office is an utter nightmare, and methodone is a pile of shit imo for treating addicts

But as long as its not a double edged sword, yay!
very slowly reducing the amount of heroin in the solution would work, much in the way of nicotine patches
if you can get nicotine patches, why cant you work your way off heorin in the same way?
Suppose so. It just seems too good to be true, why didn't they do this earlier?
Ah here's a question: where are they going to get the heroin from?
heroin = diamorphine, hospitals have it by the buck loads, and it's piss easy to make as well from morphine........ the active ingredient in vinegar, in 1:1 ration with morphine heated up in presence of small amount of powerful acid, with water cooling to stop any vapour escaping
purify and you're done, would be crude compared to what hospitals have, but it is easy
and no i didn't just break the law
But is heroin legal?
This is a fair point.
heroin shouldn't of been made illegal in the 1st place and should stayed as every other prescription drug.....
and you want deny these people help?
Diamorphine, co-codomal, etc. etc. all 'techy' sounding drugs that people tend to think doctors dabble with and lets leave it to them.
Heroin, crack, speed just from the names instantly to me become dodgy back street black market drugs that can and will only do damage.
Its not the names itself, its the way I (and i suspect others) have been conditioned to read them.
now you see part of the mythical nature of these things
heroin was 'invented' to treat morphine addiction, which was in turn created to treat opiate addiction
now what do you think of methodone?
britain has mostly controlled the worlds poppy production for three hundred years ...and just happens to be killing people in the biggest poppy field in the world again ...and whenever WHENEVER ...WE ARE THERE ...PRODUCTION ROCKETS AND PRICES TUMBLE ...AND THE Aopps caps americans these days ...just coincidence of course.
why do people take these things kentish?
well to answer that question you would realy have to have a deep understanding of the last six thousand years of documented use realy.
why people think that somehow it shouldn't exist now we are modern is a bit beyond me
why does the question ...'but how do we get them off?' ....always manage to come up early in the discussion when it isn't realy relevant?
most people with a clean and steady supply would me more than happy to have a habbit for a few more years yet ...and maybe a few more after that.
and a clean steady supplt would mean they could then focus their energies into getting on with their lives ...instead of forever running.
Heroin doesn't exactly work like that.
Why do people start drinking?
It's a good move, you can't deny there will be heroin addicts in any country, it's safer to just give them clean heroin and it also prevents crime.
because of the way the laws are written policing these matters ...don't you find that a strange set of laws?
There is a cafe in the Leeds market, the owner bought it for £90k in ten pound notes cash and he never ever serves a person in it. The whoel thing is a front for money laundering drugs cash and yet no one even attempts to investigate him, least of all the Market council who make nearly double rent out of him.
Isnt the establishment and people of power a great set of people! (sarcasm implied)
What makes it universal.
I see some alcoholics on the street at night begging for money and it's anything but appealing. Just like some smacked out junky in a derelict house is unappealing.
There are some heroin users who like to dabble now and again and lead perfectly normal lives. There are people who enjoy a drink or two from time to time. There are extremes on both sides. It's down to the person, some people have addictive personalities. The reason why most junky addicts turn out like that is because of poverty, because they have nothing going for them, that's why they turn to the heroin and other drugs, they like and try again. Then they're fucked.
if everyone on your street used heroin everyday for a week ...how many of them at the end of such an experiment do you think would want to continue using it?
few and probably none would be my guess.
It doesn't, it just means they're getting clean stuff and money isn't given to the hands of ganster drug lords.
I know, you need to take it everyday for a few weeks for it to become physically addictive. Plus many don't like it on their first go.
I think a lot of people assume, legality=rise in use. It doesn't necessarily mean that.
