Excerpts:London (CNSNews.com) - Heroin addicts throughout England will be given the drug free through the state-run health service as part of a new government drugs strategy, officials said.
About 400 heroin addicts already legally obtain heroin through the National Health Service, but the new plan, announced Tuesday, will introduce prescription programs across England and Wales.
Under the scheme, users will be given clean needles and will be able to shoot up in medically supervised areas.
"There will be an increase in the number of heroin users being prescribed the drug, and in the number of licensed general practitioners (able to dispense the drug)," a Home Office spokesman said.

America has a huge problem with illegal drug use a couple of points:
1. The average life expectancy of someone using crack cocaine is 10 years. 2. Some estimates are that 70% of robberies, are the results of drug addicts trying to get monies to buy drugs. And most of America’s prostitutes are drug addicts. 3. Many of America’s homicides are likewise related to drug sales and drug robberies (gone badly) 4. It is estimated that 30% of monies sent to welfare recipients are spent on drugs. (This is hard to determine because welfare agencies aren’t PRESENTLY allowed to test for drugs.
This may change if the Ashcroft’s justice department can defeat the ACLU. The ACLU as usual is doing whatever it can to prevent the creation of a free society. And they are fighting to see that the welfare money, drug money, drug addict cycle is not broken.
5. America’s Bums (these people are referred to by anti-Americans as homeless. The Counter American Culturists created this new-speak word to make Americans feel guilty and responsible and to prevent realistic programs from being set up to solve the problems of America’s street people) bums are made up almost entirely of the mentally ill and drug addicts.
One time I volunteered to try to help the Street-people. Working with several shelters we went around and invited street people to go to shelters where they could live in warm rooms with clean beds and all the food that they wanted. Totally free!
About 50% of the homeless we approached said that they wouldn’t go to the shelters because the shelters wouldn’t allow them to shoot up or use other drugs while they stayed there. So consequently they weren’t interested.
Another 30% were obvious schizophrenics. These poor creatures had no idea where they were, or who they were, and they would just walk away from the shelters if they were taken there. But they also refused to go to shelters. Another 20% just refused without saying why.
(A loving society would have had these Schizophrenics committed against their will to institutions where they could be cared for. Many had previously been in institutions. They had then been put on medications got a little better. Then they were released. After their releases they promptly quit taking their meds, and were back to being full blown Schizophrenics in about 100 hours.
Back in the 1960s the ACLU (An organization which is a much greater danger to America than the Islamic terrorists) Took the case of institutionalized Schizophrenics all of the way to the Supreme court. The ACLU won a decision that said that if the patient could be returned to a minimal degree of sanity (on medication) that it was unconstitutional to continue to hold him against his will. (If he had not injured or killed anyone recently)
The only problem was that on release about 95% of them quit taking their medications, as soon as they were released. And the ACLU’s insane have turned cities ( Like San Francisco that solicits Bums) into something that resembles the movie (ATTACK OF THE LIVING DEAD)
Any one who has had the misfortune to visit downtown San Francisco and watched these poor creatures defecating in the streets and hitting the cement building walls with their hands and heads, knows what I mean.
Any way only about one in a hundred of the HOMELESS on the streets would accept our free invitation to accommodations.
Now if you don’t believe me try this, call your city's social service department. Then get the names and addresses of several free homeless shelters.
The next time you encounter a “Homeless” person defecating on the street, laying in his own vomit, or telling you that he desperately would be willing to do any kind of work for food. Offer to call him a cab and tell him that you will GIVE THE CABBIE THE MONEY to take him to a shelter that provides beds and food for free.
And as you try to give him the addresses and names of the shelters to choose from, watch him walk away! He will most often be giving you the bird as he goes.
It was after that experience, that I half jokingly came up with the idea of creating Bums-villas for all of our major cities.
First the Bums addictions were fatal diseases. It didn’t matter if their drug of choice was Alcohol, Heroine, Crack, or Cocaine. They were all doomed. The only questions were how long would they live, how much comfort would they be in, and how many innocent citizens would they rob, kill, or give HIV to before they died.
Back to my concept of Bumsville. In the bumbsvills the drug addicts could get all of the drugs that they wanted. And they would get whatever drugs they wanted. And they could stay there in comfort until they died of drug induced organ failure or overdose.
And it would be economical. For example $1,000 dollars worth of welfare money could buy on the street about the same amount of heroine or crack that the US government could produce for $40 dollars.
And with out any taxes the government could produce ethanol (the universal intoxicating agent in all alcoholic beverages) for about 80cents a quart of 100 proof alcohol.(It is exactly the same product that they are trying to run our cars on.
The only requirement for living in Bumsville is that you couldn’t leave and return to bum-free society. But since their entire lives are devoted to acquiring drugs, why would they ever want to leave when the drinking fountains flowed with bourbon and wine? And their caretakers could insert permanent IVs so that they never again had to find a vein. It would be economical cheaper for society. Stop most all robberies. And if the ACLU could be assured that the Bums could vote Democrat. They might fight for a bill requiring the government to force the disadvantaged into becoming drug addicts.
How do you feel about the decision by the English to provide their heroine addicts with free heroine?
Sincerely,
Pliny the younger
And a great place to raise kids, too!
Now since entry into Bumsville would be completely voluntary and exit would also be voluntary provided one tested clean for a sufficient time I can think of no Constitutional prohibition for such a community. I do not think to many people would wish to live next door to Bumsville but many people do not like living near prisons.
This sort of community could well do more to disrupt street gangs than most of the police programs in place.
Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown
Absolutely a good idea; send our Heroine Addicts to Britian.
Here in California they try to pass laws to give out needles to drug users all the time, and the laws don't pass (thank God)! It's ridiculous for the government to blatantly subsidize someone killing themselves.
Nonsense---addicts rob to get drug money, which they wouldn't need in the scenario under discussion.
If the good people of Britain are truly comfortable with paying taxes to be a nation of enablers, God bless 'em. The day the American people do something this stupid will be the day Hell freezes over.
