The Netherlands gives out free heroin and clean needles. Addicts can get a fix three times a day. Some of the addicts still have part of their brain working. They know that they are being helped to die quickly. There's just nothing they can do but stop being addicts and they can't do that.Instead on spending money to give people free needles, we should spend the money to give them free heroin. Much more cost effective in the long run.
Actually I agree with you. It seems cold but not only more cost effective in the long run, but would be less harmful on society. Give them the free heroin with free needles- and you don't have junkies breaking into homes to feed their habit, you don't go imprisoning junkies just because they have heroin.
It's a reasonable solution.
