I like the idea myself. I have this feeling that addicts are gonna do what they are gonna do, whether society likes it or not, and so if we can provide them with clean equipment and help stop the spread of IV passed diseases, then its a good idea.
Hello SG. I too love the new look, and it’s great to have an idea what you look like. The picture at the top is great as well, but you do need a mechanism for navigating the archives, please.
Colby Pants: glad you agree! Of course, it also means that addicts don’t have to commit crimes to get the money they need to buy drugs. I think ‘legalising’ heroin in this way is the only way to help really hardened, long-term addicts.
I have a very strong view on this. I would legalise all drugs.
If the drugs laws worked we wouldn’t have a problem.
If the powers that be really wanted to strop the drugs trade you would pay the farmers not to grow the stuff. It would be cheaper and would not undermine the market for other commodities.
The truth is that drugs enforcement is a big business and the politicians can always blame drugs for a countries problems.
The fear of drugs is a big scare tactic. I could say more but I dont want to hijack the point of the post.

I’m not sure about this idea, it has its advantages and its disadvantages but as a decision-phobe I can’t make up my mind one way or another.
I do, however, love what you’ve done with your new layout! And lovin’ the pretty wee picture of you! Nice to put (half) a face to the name!
