DOCTORS SHOULD TREAT HEROIN
I was very heartened to read about San Francisco providing Office Based
Opioid Treatment to people suffering from the disease of opiate addiction.
We are at war. Our enemies make the majority of their money from the heroin
trade. Expanding access to opiate treatment cuts the U.S. demand for heroin,
which in turn helps cut this funding source to our enemies.
If only OBOT were available across the country, we could cut the demand for
heroin in half, if not more.
