what are your thoughts on legalising heroin? i was posed this question today and it makes you think. Some issues that might be raised involve:
- safe injecting rooms (no transmission of blood borne viruses)
- no crime associated with paying the street price to maintain your addictive habit
- take away business from dealers
- clean batches
- controlled doses (no risk of OD's)
- legalising would get more people using
- more people get addicted
- more people suffer withdrawal trying to get off.
Heroin is a safer drug than nicotine after all.
