of course theres a huge difference,.. you clearly didnt see the word "#sarcasm" - check again cause its definetly there.
"Yeah why not prescribe these h addicts there daily / weekly fix.. whilst theyre on why dont they hand over some underaged girls n boys to a peadophile ring? #sarcasm" - Which part of this run-on sentence
weren't you being sarcastic about?
The way in which you wrote the above line implies that you clearly disagree with prescribing maintenance doses of diacetylmorphine to Heroin addicts; and also that in your opinion, it's about as wrong as having pedophiles being handed over underage girls and boys. And, as I've stated previously, there is a fundamental difference between the two as the diacetylmorphine isn't alive, isn't human, doesn't feel fear, won't develop PTSD, and so forth.
+ Why should heroin be prescribed to any1?
Providing a heroin addict with an appropriate/proper dosage of pure, unadulterated diacetylmorphine BID for little to no cost provides the following benefits to the patient (the following is based on my experience living day to day as an opioid addict):
- Zero cravings. If you've never been physically dependent and addicted to opioids, especially the more potent ones, then this probably means little to you.
- The patient no longer needs to worry about where to find his/her next fix. Depending on where a Heroin addict lives, it can take days to find a fix. Or, it can take minutes.
- The patient no longer needs to worry about how to afford his/her next fix. A Heroin habit tends to be very expensive - partly because drug dealers are free to set prices as high as they wish. Therefore, after they pawn all their valuables, an addict may resort to crime (stealing, prostitution, etc.) to fund their habit. And the prostitutes know they are at risk of infection of STDs such as HIV, but they risk it nonetheless. Same with the thieves. They'd all rather avoid opiate withdrawal. That's how agonizingly painful it is.
- The patient no longer needs to worry about the possibility that (s)he will go into withdrawal soon. When in withdrawal, it's extremely difficult for a Heroin addict to function. So what typically happens is, once the addict manages to come up with enough money to buy a fix, they then shoot up. Soon afterwards, the addict once again goes back to doing whatever it is they do to make money. Some come up with enough money faster than others, but typically it takes a few hours. Then they go to their dealer, or if (s)he's not around, "a" dealer for a fix and shoot up again. Then the vicious cycle repeats itself. Heroin addicts don't have time to do anything else other than come up with enough money to afford their next fix so that they don't go into withdrawal. That needs to change if we ever want to give them a chance to live a normal life.
- The patient no longer needs to worry about the possibility that (s)he will be busted by the cops and thrown into jail. There's always a possibility that the next fix you buy is from an undercover cop who's looking to fill his weekly quota.
- The patient no longer needs to worry about the possibility that sharing a needle with another user may infect him/her with HIV, Hepatitis C, etc. Countless Heroin addicts do not have access to clean needles, so they share and re-use dirty ones with other addicts. One of those addicts - a prostitute - recently (unknowingly) became infected with HIV after having sexual intercourse with an HIV positive individual. Now there's a chance that everyone else who used the needle after her is infected.
- The patient no longer needs to worry about adulterants as the purity of prescribed diacetylmorphine is always pharmaceutical grade, always pure. Many Heroin addicts overdose due to unusually potent batches of Heroin (some of which turn out to not be Heroin at all, but rather a much stronger opioid, such as fentanyl). That's one example of many possible scenarios regarding what may or may not be found in a baggie of smack somewhere out there.
- Since the patient who is on a proper, stable dose of pharmaceutical grade "Heroin" doesn't need to worry about health issues in relation to sharing needles and prostitution, death from overdose, adulterated Heroin, cost, availability, breaking the law, cravings, and especially opiate withdrawal syndrome, they can begin to concentrate on other parts of their lives, such as:
- Mending and repairing broken relationships with family.
- Finding suitable work.
- Seeking suitable shelter.
- Paying back any debts or money owed.
- Repairing their credit.
- Maintaining a healthy diet.
- Seeking appropriate medical attention and counselling to attempt to address the issues in their lives which caused them to resort to using recreational drugs.
- If financially possible, start a rehab program for addiction issues.
- If possible, spend time with supportive family members and/or relatives who won't directly or indirectly encourage drug seeking behavior, but also who won't treat you like a scumbag because of past street drug use.
- If single, and the time feels right, seek companionship, or an intimate relationship.
- If with children, make up for lost time by spending time and showing that you care and love them.
- Take up a new hobby.
- Go back and finish school if not completed.
- And much more.
user's have no 1 but themself's to blame for the state there in.
Nothing could be further from the truth, but I don't expect you to even try to understand why.

. There doesn't seem to be nearly as much stigma in using diamorphine in the UK for relief from severe pain. It's sure as shit alot safer then being pumped full of Demerol which some doctors still don't mind doing.
