USE CONFISCATED DRUGS

I just saw on the news about the U.S. Supreme Court Justice giving a stay 
based on the possibility that the drugs used may be cruel and unusual.

I have a suggestion that should work and save the state a lot of money.

I bet the drugs currently being used cost the state quite a bit. I also 
think that there are a lot of people out there that, once hooked on heroin, 
would kill to get it.

Therefore, I think the state should quit using the current, cruel and 
unusual drugs, and use heroin that is confiscated in drug raids to execute 
the prisoner. These drugs are supposedly just disposed of anyway.
