Obviously I have an opinion in this it was just your remark
"Im no expert but after a month or two of that wouldnt there be a lot of deaths of these heroin users , thus resulting in a downturn in crime connected to it?
Maybe if theygave away pure heroin for 6 months theyd all die off and then thered be a major improvement ? "
that made the post offensive.
These addicts are someone's mother, father, son, daughter etc, and they deserve to be treated as human beings , not just lumped all together as a social ill.
If you want a reduction in crime and drug abuse, provide better housing, better education and job prospects in key areas and change the school system which only recognises academic success instead of the production of a well rounded emotionall stable human being.
