Drug Addiction

Treatment for drug addicts.

Heroin addiction is a huge problem in this country. More and more people are falling under the spell of this evil drug. Once addicted, users find themselves and their lives controlled by it. The grip it has on them is so strong that they are even willing to risk their freedom by stealing to fund their expensive habit.

While the drug-dealers are getting richer plying their trade, many lives are being torn apart all because of their addiction to heroin.

At the moment the government are placing all emphasis on catching the drug smugglers and dealers. Well sure enough they have to be stopped, however we only have a drugs trade because we have addicts who are willing to spend large amounts of money for their daily fix.

A whole new approach is needed in tackling this problem. Much more help needs to be available to drug users, giving them the chance of repairing their damaged lives. After all there are underlying causes as to why a person falls into drug addiction. Nobody chooses to destroy his or her life for the fun of it. And a lot of them have never had proper medical assistance in an effort to live a normal life. Getting to the root cause of the problem is the only way forward. Everyone deserves a second chance.

Where will the money come from? Well that is simple. Cut the amount of money that's being pumped into chasing the dealers, and redirect it towards treatment for the addicts. The overall knock-on affect will gradually help to dismantle the drugs trade. The fewer drug users there are, the smaller will be the drug empires.

Basically, using this approach will be much more constructive than the way things are dealt with at the moment on this subject.

The proceeds from illegal drugs end up funding that which taxpayers would frown upon if their tax dollars were being spent on it. Just keep in mind that the heroin from Afghanistan wouldn't be on our streets if our stupid president hadn't funded the farmers poppy fields operations in the early 2000's.

Every time you do drugs you support Bush and his cronies.
