#1 Shouldn't one of the rules of drug-dealing be: Don't do it if you have a bad memory?

#4 "Heroin is overrated" - a Methadone junkie.

First of all, it is one of the few 'hard' drugs that if you can get a regular supply @ good quality you can use for 20-30 years with marginal health effects.

Second, it would be superb as a pharmaceutical narcotic for many types of terrible pain--far better than lots of the legal drugs used today.

Third, it remains illegal, while dozens of almost chemically similar narcotics are legal by prescription. Go figure.

Fourth, Methadone is just as addictive, and no less harmful. So junkies just become addicted to it instead of heroin. What is accomplished here, except making the owners of Methadone clinics wealthy?

Fifth, there is a process by which an addict can be taken off heroin in four days, with a low recitivism rate. Three drugs are used: one puts them in a coma for four days, one cleans the heroin from their system, and the third blocks the heroin receptors for a month or two. The death rate from the coma drug is about 1 in 1000, so the US won't even test the process, instead leaving tens of thousands of junkies to suffer for the rest of their lives.

#5 Cool comment Anonymoose.I've known a couple of addicts that died in the most alone way. Sad, sometimes our puritanism is a bummer.
