Doctors have been able to prescribe heroin since the Misuse of Drugs Act (1920). They require an additional licence so most GPs can't prescribe it but some can.It is a good post and my mind isn’t made up.
But, is the problem not that we’re just stuck with alcohol? Impossible to ban it now, even if it’s worse than some stuff that’s more illegal.
It would be a bold government that chose to supply heroin addicts with heroin to keep them out of jail, even if there’s logic to it.
