Why should the Government feed these people their habIt at the expense of money going to hospitals, nursing homes and schools, where it is desperately needed? Everyone knows heroin is addictive, so, if someone decides to take it, they should take responsibility for their decisions. Shooting galleries will not solve the drug problem. There are drug rehabilitation centres such as Odyssey House for people who genuinely want to kick the habit. - --- MAP posted-by: Greg
