i think most people will agree with me that the greatest drug problem in australia regards the widespread heroin use, and it's quite a problem. any fool can travel to the city and score heroin in less than literally 10 minutes. it doesn't take much intelligence to notice that the well known asian video game parlours don't thrive off the business of customers playing the games.
as to how they can be helped -- that's the question everybodies asking. heroin usage was hush-hush until the problem escalted into sand pits and beaches and cinemas and trains (yes, that is generalising)
heroin injecting rooms have been proposed as a possible alternative to attempt to counter the problem, but our powerful body of convservatists who can never come close to understanding will have no part in it, yet they offer no reasonable suggestions as to how to reduce the problem. i say fark, give it a go, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. what more have we got to lose? if in doubt, go talk to a junkie and see what else they have to lose.
