First the Dems, now the Greens

After last weeks revelation that the South Australian drug promoter Democrat supported ecstacy we find the Victorian Greens are advocating further use of herion; free for the addict, of course.

FACTORY-produced heroin will be imported into Australia and prescribed for long-term addicts under the Victorian Greens’ drugs policy.

Greens Victorian upper house candidate Colleen Hartland said the proposals would reduce harm and save lives. Not to mention it would also increase the crime rate, the prison population, the incidences of granny bashing to supplement a fix when the free stuff runs out and ruin the lives of those associated with the addicts. Good call Greens.

The Greens heroin trial proposal mirrors equivalent moves in Europe and Vancouver, Canada, where prescription heroin is given to addicts who have become resistant to methadone.

Oh well! If they are doing it in Europe and Canada then it must be OK…. I think not . I’m never impressed with the ‘they do it in Europe therefore we should‘ arguement. With few exceptions we need to lead, not follow. To me, supporting substance abuse is admitting defeat on the eve of the battle..I’m for always trying to help the adicts kick their particular habit . If some fall through the cracks then so be it but I can’t see punters being happy about giving addicts free fixes. I know I’m not. UPDATE: Naturaly enough the Australian agrees with me, albeit a day later. Scroll down to High times in Victoria; Another reason to keep the Greens in the wilderness
