DRUG LAWS ARE PART OF A MORAL CRUSADE
Sir: Heroin is a largely beneficent drug, if prescribed in
its pure form in an appropriate dose. It is addictive for
many people, and it does cause constipation, but it is
probably unrivalled as a reliever of physical and mental
pain. All the "deadly" effects of heroin arise from its
prohibition, and the handing over of its control to the
black market.
