Harleyman Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Distributed by licensed clinics under medical supervision. Regulated under the sale of heroin act or somesuch piece of legislation. yeah right make sense lets start regulating and controlling distribution of alcohol and tobacco as a trial run to see if it would work for drug addicts. No more alcoholics and people coughing up what's left of their lungs. :loopy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferno Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 The United States comes in first, too, on a more meaningful list from the prison studies center, the one ranked in order of the incarceration rates. It has 751 people in prison or jail for every 100,000 in population. (If you count only adults, one in 100 Americans is locked up.) The only other major industrialized nation that even comes close is Russia, with 627 prisoners for every 100,000 people. The others have much lower rates. England’s rate is 151; Germany’s is 88; and Japan’s is 63. The median among all nations is about 125, roughly a sixth of the American rate. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/23/us/23prison.html?pagewanted=all And by what degree has drug use declined in America?

JFKvsNixon Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 As in what was that a question too! It was a question to a statement that suggested that diamorphine is an easy and cheap substance to produce. What is the issue then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Which then means that a new generation of kids can have their year or so of power as gangland dealers until they too are arrested, and then they'll be in prison and a new generation will take their place. It's a never ending circulation of wasted life. An inherently awful situation. Gangs will always be around. Take away the drugs and they will just go back to mugging old ladies, committing burglaries and running hookers and they'll be arrested and sent down. So it will go on as always. The temptation to make a fast easy buck and avoid an honest days work always the draw for a gang banger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky3 Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 It was a question to a statement that suggested that diamorphine is an easy and cheap substance to produce. What is the issue then? No, it was in response to: When we are talking about heroin you realise we are talking about poppies, right? The same poppies that grow prolifically on wasteland, piles of rubble, next to railway tracks? A wild flower astonishingly adapted to spreading and multiplying? But the actual heroin people get addicted to isn't that wild stuff, it's produced intentionally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferno Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 It used to be that Europeans came to the United States to study its prison systems. They came away impressed. “In no country is criminal justice administered with more mildness than in the United States,” Alexis de Tocqueville, who toured American penitentiaries in 1831, wrote in “Democracy in America.” No more. “Far from serving as a model for the world, contemporary America is viewed with horror,” James Q. Whitman, a specialist in comparative law at Yale, wrote last year in Social Research. “Certainly there are no European governments sending delegations to learn from us about how to manage prisons.” It's an embarrassment to America. A stain on the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok what is the issue then? I'm reading that that statement to suggest how cheap and easy it is to manufacture diamorphine, and as such the cost to the NHS wont be that great.
