nice avoidance of the question
clearly you have got no idea about the methadone program so i dont know why you bother. Probably arent aware of the mandatory unine tests either.
again, complete ignorance of how the program is run.
and morbitity related to methadone dependence is...?
Competition. Simple economics. If the govt set a price, then people will match it. I don't think the govt would be able to set a price that is low enough to destroy the competition. They would have to import or grow opium and pay all sorts of wage bills to manufacture it. if they just imported it they would have much higher overheads than a normal dealer - admin and wage bills whereas a dealer doesn't pay wages.
See above. Makes no difference what the price is. An illegal importer will have far less overheads and therefore would be able obtain cheaper heroin. BTW: The black market would easily be able to accomodate $10 / 10th of a gram hits. I don't think you are aware of the mark up.
There's no such thing as a $100+ hit. If a junkie is getting $10 hits they could be needing between 1 and 20 a day to support their habit. The rough price these days hovers around $30 a hit. All you would be doing is making it cheaper. Crime might be reduced a bit but there's be no shortage of junkies who would up their intake.
I don't know if it's free, but they can take it away with them. I have known clinics elsewhere where they have to have it on the spot and some junkies don't swallow it and come out and spit it into another junkies mouth who is 'clucking'.
How bout you tell me where you get your info from and then I'll explain to you why it is unreliable. My source is unquestionable.
Maybe you're not aware that heroin is out of your system within 24 hours making a urine test a waste of time.
So why have I seen people come out with a small square black vial thing and sell it? Why do I used to know junkies who used to do this?
You're going to have to clarify what you're asking here.
So you probably wotk in a methodone clinic. And you claim to know why most junkies go on the program. If they have ulterior motives, do you really think they are going to tell you that they are just in it for the freebie? No. A condition of being able to get methadone is that you have to be an addict, and that you have to be trying to get off H. They're not going to give people free methadone for the sake of it. Junkies aren't going to tell clinic staff or community workers, or probation officers what's really going on.
So in your opinion, how many of these people do you think were genuine about kicking the habit?
Zero tolerance policies are for those with their heads in the sand.
And morals intact.
But they're your morals, not everyone else's. And you want them to be forced onto everyone else no matter what the cost. Like I said, people like you often have their head in the sand.
And there's no prizes for guessing where you've got your head, if you think legalising this garbage is a good idea. Might as well legalise assault, battery, robbery, burglary. murder and manslaughter as well.
Go read the thread idiot.
Only an idiot could make this comment. Please explain to me the relevance of this statement.
Only an idiot can't make the connection between heroin and this comment.
For your information, I did read the thread. Ask any 80 year old defenceless pensioner if heroin should be legalised so the lowlifes who use it can access it more easily, and then bash them senseless in the streets and inside their homes with even more nauseating regularity than they do now, if that's possible. YOU goose.
Are you really this stupid?
I can make my own informed decisions thanks. In any case, don't you think asking a cross section would be better than asking 80 year females?
A typical comment from an ignoramus.
And no access whatsoever will dramatically reduce violent crime. Severe penalties will reduce it even further. Getting rid of bleeding heart small 'l' liberals and reintroducing some moral standards into sociery might just eradicate it completely.
How will we have no access?
What's the most severe punishment?
Who's morals? Yours? Why yours? How do you know they are moral? Why do you think you are the benchmark of morals?
