It's pretty well accepted that heroin leads people downwards abyt high speed. There aren't that many "I did skag and now I own several aston martins" stories whereas there are plenty "I was a bright individual with good prospects, now I steal anything that isn't nailed down and wouldn't think twice about mugging a granny to get a couple of quid" stories.

Steady on there, you are bringing sense to the discussion.
Whilst it is a sad story for the family affected as you say people who get mixed up in drugs did have the choice. The shame here is the real issues are being lost in the politics, the vast quantities of heroin that arrives here is grown in parts of Asia.
It would be nice to know how much Is smuggled in by UK residents compared with the amount brought in by foreign nationals. We have a couple of known businesses around here (kebab shops) that are known for supplying drugs, there has even been a bit of a mini war when he new kebab shop started selling drugs on the other guys patch.
One of these businesses is Turkish owned and I believe the other is Iraqi owned.
