Willow methadone is far more addictive than heroin which is why it so many revert to heroin during the program.

Entwisi is right it is better to take the market away from the dealers rather than try and take the dealers away from the market, as soon as one scumbag is banged up for supplying there is a queue to take its place. Why not try something radical and see how it goes, you never know it might just work. (One of the first Raving Monster Loony Party's policies was to lower the voting age to 16!! and who would have thought 35 years ago it would be illegal to sack a pregnant woman!!)
