Oregon bill decriminalizes possession of heroin, cocaine and other drugs

6. I'm not advocating anyone doing heroin

But when I checked to make sure England still had the prescription program for addicts I found stories of addicts who get their three legal doses a day and hold jobs and seem to function as normally as anyone else. That certainly has to be better than our system - where an addict is either going to end up in prison or have to steal $1,000 a day to support a $100 a day habit.
One of the stories had a Doctor explaining that the only major medical problem with regular heroin use (if the drug and the delivery system is clean) is constipation, which anyone who has ever been on Vicodin for a few days after surgery can attest to.
