I don't mind the idea of treating people to help them get off drugs but the NHS helping them to stay ON drugs just sounds all wrong. Like Granny (indirectly) says the real problems are the pushers and suppliers but we don't seem to be able to stop that.

I can see Garinda's point about prohibition but can't think of heroine along the same lines as a bottle of beer even though I don't drink.
