Legal heroin = Canada

Recommended Posts

Looks like Canada's new government is actually doing some of the things they said they would:

In an effort to treat Canadians enslaved by a junk habit, the Liberal government has taken action against an old law by imposing a new set of regulations that will allow medical professionals to provide addicts with daily doses of pharmaceutical-grade heroin.

Earlier last week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s administration made a move to revamp some of the extreme anti-drug policies that were put on the books by the Conservative government during its rule. Specifically, the change involves a tweak in the language of Health Canada’s Special Access Program, giving physicians the freedom to treat severe cases of heroin addiction with a prescription form of the drug known as diacetylmorphine.

So good to see, I'm all for it.

It is a legitimate treatment option for those that haven't found stability from other options and has prooven very successful in other countries and has lead to an over all reduction in use.

We were so close to getting it here, if only the heroin drought had hit 6-12 months later we would have had it.

Interesting,  but I wonder if they will have all kinds of restrictions like methadone in the US that basically makes the program useless to someone who just wants their life back and to be a productive person
