Dose of reality fuels new initiatives to help addicts.

Long-term addicts to get two free doses of heroin a day in a Danish scheme that could be replicated across the UK

State-funded heroin is becoming a reality in Denmark, the latest in a small, but growing, number of European countries – including the UK – concerned with improving drug users' quality of life and reducing criminality.Since 1 January, hundreds of drug addicts in the Nordic country have the right to receive two free doses of heroin a day, paid for by their health system. The offer is only for adult, long-term users for whom substitutes such as methadone and subutex have not worked.Read more - http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2009/feb/05/denmark-state-funded-heroin

I'm going to chat to my Aussie friend in Denmark about this! Perhaps you know her, Princess Mary

wow any danish gals wanna marry me?

i need a hobby!

What will cost the state more?

The money to buy heroin

or the money that they have to put in to clean up after them..

I wonder..

I think its not too bad an idea, its so degrading having to go to a bright neon doctors surgery to shoot up, it also keeps them from robbing my stereo.

Unbelievable, taxpayers supporting the habits of junkies.

I'd prefer they earn it by trying to take the money directly from me.

You really wanna stop drugs ??? Next major shipment stopped by customs, lace the stuff with some cyanide. Kill off a few thousand junkies (they're dying anyway) and make the others think twice before they shoot up,

It's been many discussions here, but according to the law, not all heroin junkies get it. It must be some kind of physiology test and so on. In fact the government sponsor those junkies for long long time but not heroin. They supply needles and all kind of *cleaned* equipments to those people.

I'm a taxpayer in Denmark and I think that isn't fair either BUT if anyone know where to find the fairness in this world, please PM me. I'm gonna move there.
