are being plowed into a free heroin scheme, hardcore addicts can come to a cublicle and use heroin that was bought with some of the lottery money raised..i think this is a good thing, the addiction isn't a problem when there is a fix there for them or is this a waste of the public's money?
I don't think it is, if the public want to get rid of this heroin problem that brings crime and violence along with it then give the addicts their fix through government supplied heroin thus keeping crime out of society and keeping the addicts happy.

Stealing and mugging isn't completely due to addiction tho, it could just be destructive behaviour. It's not like these people can get an office job is it? They'd probably still smash things up for something to do.
People get money all different ways for the heroin, if they weren't on heroin they wouldn't be going around robbing and wrecking, well most people wouldn't, maybe some still might be.
Aha, apologies. Tis very late
I don't know though, I'd have to see the effects for myself. It's not something to easily hypothosise over :chin:
yea i know, the effects would have to be seen, the whole thing could be good or the whole thing could go up in smoke.
there are many people in the media who are addicts ...mostly journalists. addicts are from all walks of life. you seem to have a SUN/ daily mail view of addicts which is totaly wrong. addicts from rough families and areas are not the majority.
if you ever get the chance to visit a rehab centre, any rehab centre you will have your eyes truly opened!
did you know that heroin addiction that has lasted years and years has absolutely NO ...lasting physical or mental effects?
no toxicity on the liver or kidneys. i was a heroin addict for many years. there is no way physicaly mentaly or medicaly you can tell.
at the begining of the 20th century heroin was legal as was opium. it is reckoned that most of the british admiralty were addicted to one or the other or both. at least 25% of MP's were addicts. queen victoria was a very heavy opium and cannabis user. it wasn't against the law so it wasn't anything to hide or be ashamed of.
britains two most famous heroin addicts that come to mind are ...
Will Self ...used to be margerate hatchits chief press officer now a top media man and openly speaks of his addiction and the pleasure it brings him. the other being Kieth Richards of the rolling stones, again very open about it. the guy is always very confident and happy in interviews. at sixty odd he is still touring the world and rocking.
And I wouldn't touch the Sun with a barge pole
