Guest guest Posted June 20, 2001 Report Share Posted June 20, 2001 I hope everyone watched that dispatchers program last night on the war on drugs (esp. you Lesley!). It was humbling to see such non-media hype and government propergander portrayed so clearly. All that needs to be done now is a program on the war on animals and the war on cancer (i.e. meaties feeding it). Both are the same thing. Most of it I knew already, but some was very new to me. Heroine is officially less dangerous than aspirin/over the counter pain killers. Free heroine for addicts was banned because a few doctors were selling it. Everyone except a few politicians (and the uninformed) thinks it's a good idea to decriminalise it again. Bring on the free, clean heroine for addicts, and bring on the flames. Yours passionately.

I'd expect the addicts to go " cold cheatin-turkey " in a special hospital. Same with alcoholics or people giving up smoking, cutting down gradually doesn't work, most ex-addicts of all types will tell you, it has to be all or nothing. I don't agree with giving addicts methadone cos they sell it to get more heroin. They take the doctors for mugs, and no wonder! If they are serious they will give up immediately and accept that is the only way, even though it means some short-term suffering with withdrawal symptoms. I'm in favour of help through that difficult time in a clinic. I don't take aspirin or paracetamol personally, I don't think the tablets are vegan anyway. Last time I took paracetamol was in the hospital over 8 years ago for pain after my son's birth involving an episiotomy and stitches (and yes I did feel a bit guilty about them most likely not being vegan), and I can't even remember when I last used aspirin. I am all for avoiding these medicines as it doesn't take many paracetamol to cause liver damage, and aspirin can cause stomach bleeding. I am well aware that pharmaceutical drugs are dangerous and should be used with extreme caution. I find it especially frightening that Calpol for children contains paracetamol, and that many parents are not fully aware of how careful they must be if they use it. Just saying that heroin is less dangerous than over the counter pain killers doesn't convince me it is safe since I am aware that pain- killers are dangerous. Let them eat poppies!
