Re: Anthrax alert for addicts
 
They chose to try it so why should they get help in coming off it??

As for the anthrax debate, inject them all it would save the NHS a fortune in free methadone, after care, money from the DHSS for being an addict to the tune of £120 a week. We'd all be better off without the dirty smack rats infecting our society.

I dont really care much for skagheads, junkies etc. They choose that lifestyle, if they die they die. But thats my opinion as someone who has not had to deal with a junkie first hand (used to know a couple of junkies 20 years ago who are both dead now) But if it were a family member, would I have a different opinion? I dont know. Hopefully I'll never have to experience a family member hooked on heroin.

Sadly too many are just parked on Methadone for years with no thought about how to remove their dependancy on Opiates. In fact most junkies I know, and thats a fair number, find it harder to come off Meth than Heroin and simply see it as a free hit and/or something to sell on to other users.
