Thread: Prescribed Heroin?

before they do anything with heroin addicts they need to save the government some trouble and legalize weed.

Aren't percocets in the same family as Heroin?

I am kinda on both sides here. I think they should make all drugs rules the same as drinking and the like. Not legalizing it just fills up our prisons with helpless addicts who would rather of gotten it legaly if it were possible. And that is a waste of taxes as stuff.

I dont do any drugs though. I know what drugs will do to me. That is the only thing i dont like about the idea. Who is going to teach all the children about the harmful effects of these drugs when they are legalized?

Take for example, meth. What if things like meth were legalized? That would make them easy to get. Some kid ends up finding some and trys it. and what happens? he gets the biggest high you could ever get. I hear its like, 5 times greater than sex. But it comes at a price. Not only can he become addicted, but meth destroys the part of your brain that releases endorfines. The things that make you happy. He wont be able to be happy again, unless he takes more meth. Nobody told this poor kid about what meth did, if sombody told him he would never be able to feel happy again if he took it, im pretty sure he would have not even gone near the stuff. I know i wouldnt.

But who's job is it going to be to inform all these kids about the drugs? parents? they cant be forced. Schools? they dont do a good job either. I actually paid attention in health class and didnt learn any of this stuff their :p That is the only reason why i wouldnt want it to be legalized. If they could find a way to inform everyone of the risks, then it would be a great idea.

I, for one, never quite understood the logic behind making drugs illegal just because they're bad for you. It would be pretty naive to think that's the case, especially with the tobacco and alcohol industries running the show .

sorry i just had to post this

i think it's a good idea because aside from what people do to get heroin what is used to cut it can be toxic

It's interesting how a drug is not a big social problem until it becomes illegal.

In Japan they used to excecute Opium addicts to stop the hysteria.
