They are illegal because they are detrimental to the mental health of long term users. As to the pain relief issue. Define your pain that justifies these drugs being on the street and available to anyone.

 


 Most illicit drugs in Australia are illegal because we blindly followed the Americans (who also have a massive influence on UN  drug policy). I bet we don't follow the Yanks as more and more U.S. states legislate for legal recreational marijuana.

 

Why would someone looking for pain relief buy their medication on the street if the same drugs were legal and available from approved dispensaries at a better price with assured purity?

Well this is an interesting turn of events. Sue me, but herion has never been mentioned as relief for cancer sufferers (weed) or pain relief for terminal patients (morphine) but then, I'm not a medical professional, and only have personal, non recreational use experience to base my opinions on.

Ask those in your life before making statements like that.


They're not my statements.

are you nuts?


all that does is return it to being a health issue instead of the criminal issue it has become.


its a crimminal issue for a reason.


Not for any reason that makes sense.  Addictions are health issues.


actually addictions and what the addicts will do to fund that addiction are a problem to society in general.

Yes, they are.  That's why it makes more sense to deal with the addictions than to criminalise the addicts.

No, my comment was based on the reply to and the assumption that it was directed at who it was in reply to.

probably create treatment programs that the addicts won't ever bother to use to help themselves.


The injecting room gets used doesn't it?


that isn't a treatment program


yes im wondering what sort of rehab treatment program treats the patient with the dog that bit them


Methadone.


that is not a rehab program

 

it is an alternative to using illegal heroin. it just holds them

 

more for society than the individual.. to get them off the streets doing illegal activities.. of course this is vicious cycle, its worse get clean from methadone, and boy have i seen the effects of it! and even though theyre on a meth program the desire to use heroin is still so strong, they'll still go out and score


That is because there is no rehab program offered with methadone for the most part.  

 

For those with some rehab and a reducing dose of methadone there has been far greater success.  But you don't hear about that because ex addicts don't make the news for giving up and getting on with life.


the people ive witnessed whom succeeded in beating the evils of hard drug use, concentrated on doing rehab. i am an example of that.

 

although what you say is possible, do you actually know of some people whom did it that way?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Signatures suck.
