Very Important Post from a Real Expert

Here's an interesting tidbit of anecdotal information.

In a class of about 30 people attending an addictions seminar I teach, I asked how many of the participants knew someone who was currently or in the past involved with a methadone program.

9 people raised their hands.

I asked of those 9 people if they knew whether or not those people who were on methadone were abusing other drugs at the same time.

All 9 people raised their hands.

I then asked of those 9 people if any of those folks they knew to be on methadone were breaking the law to be able to buy the drugs they were abusing.

Guess what?

All 9 raised their hands.

Why is this slice of reality not the same slice of reality presented by the harm reductionists? I'll leave it to you to figure out why.

"Why is this slice of reality not the same slice of reality presented by the harm reductionists"? They are first and foremost protecting their pay packets. It is a growth Industry, and to hell with the addicts.
God forbid that the players would actually reduce or eleminate the lot of these poor unfortunates.
If you want the difinition of obscenity, I just gave a prime example.
