HEROIN TRIALS WONT WORK
A heroin trial will not reduce drug deaths nor get addicts drug free because –
· Heroin is a dangerous mood altering drug
· Giving heroin to addicts will lead to more addicts as trials approve the use of heroin so more people will believe it is OK to try heroin then become addicted
· Heroin trials keeps addicts on drugs
· Only detoxification & rehabilitation gets addicts off drugs
· Governments using confiscated heroin used for heroin trials become pushers of drugs which damage its own people
· Governments growing heroin and giving it to them in heroin trials oppress their own vulnerable citizens
· Seized heroin not destroyed and given to citizens in trials profits drug cartels that have grown & smuggled the heroin
· Heroin trials undermine anti drug work by international law enforcement agencies and are condemned by the United Nations International Narcotics Control Board
· Taxes must get people drug free not keep them on drugs
· More detoxification and rehabilitation programs that divert addicts into a permanent drug free life.
· Court ordered detoxification & rehabilitation programs.
· Less addicts
· Less drug pushers and drug related crimes.
