WE'RE GOING SOFT ON HARD DRUGS
LET'S start at the start okay.
To inject heroin and or to be in possession of this, is illegal, right.
Have we all gone mad?
To justify safe injection rooms is a total joke, and clearly sends a
message to all addicts, that we are a soft touch, and it will be "free
heroin on every street corner", or so it seems.
Whatever happened to the methadone program, which should be advocated as a
proper method of weaning these poor addicts off heroin, although, let's
keep it clear, that the choice was theirs to start with, and nobody held a
gun to their heads.
Well, maybe in the not too distant future, my drunken mates will be able to
have "safe grog joints" where you can get a free beer just cause you are
addicted. Wake up.
