I dont agree with the ban on Heroin and other narcitic drugs.

Now dont get me wrong I dont want these drugs legalised I want them available as prescription drugs.

There are many prescription drugs out now that are just as dangerous as heroin , expensive drugs that dont work as well. Why shouldnt a Doctor be able to write a prescription for heroin to be used for terminally ill patients, Its cheap and it works. Its stupid to use more expensive drugs that dont work as well. I have always been an advocate for heroin use for executing murderers, Certainly heroin deaths are not cruel and unusual as are some of the lethal injections they now use.

Methadone is almost as potent as heroin, lasts longer (longer half-life) and the accuracy of the dose is easier to peg.

But because politicians have gotten traction declaring to get "Tough on Druuuuugggs" most prescribers would rather you suffer than to run the risk of thier prosecution.

When my aunt died she was addicted to morphine or some kind of derivative and we're real glad she was. As I understand it, the pancreatic cancer that killed her is a true horror to live with.
