A place fit for Heroin

Mail online - A Fix on the State - Peter Hitchens
The proper place for people who possess heroin is prison, the proper cure, punishment so bad they won't want to come back, and hard, hard work. This is the 'war against drugs' that has never been tried. I hate to think how many lives have already been ruined (and I am thinking of the relatives and victims of drug takers, just as much of the users themselves) because we haven't the moral guts to fight it.
I posted a comment but I doubt it will pass moderation so I'll post it here:

Care to tot up the deaths, injuries and ruined lives caused by booze Mr Hitchens?


BTW, I believe your brother likes the odd tipple now and then. Do you?
