I know methadone is supposed to be safer, but after spending some time with a woman on massive amounts of the stuff, I have my doubts. When she drove under the influence of methadone (which meant every time she got in the car), she was a terrifying driver. She finally totaled her car, but fortunately no was injured in the accident. I could go on... and on.
I have read studies which conclude that most of heroin's bad effects come from the fact that it is illegal. So you get inconsistent dosages and/or heroin that was cut with lethal substances. Clean needles are hard to obtain legally, too.
Legalize the stuff, the price goes down, you know what your getting every time, so there's less chance of o.d.s, make clean needles legal, and the government could put up an excise tax on it and use that money to set up treatment centers.
Just saying.
