Give them all Soma...i.e Brave New world/Huxley.

This guy is essentially wanting us (or the Brits) to pay addicts (in heroin) to not steal. What an idiot.

Better idea: How 'bout we poison the heroin supply?

Free Xanax too.

I guess the Brits will also have "welcome packages including heroin and needles" at Waterloo Station in London for all the heroin addicts arriving on the Chunnel train from the continent.

If you could get free heroin you wouldn't commit crime.

Gee, maybe we could give free Mercedes to car thieves and then we'd cut down on auto theft! And free suitcases of 100 dollar bills to the bank robbers to cut down on stickups. I think this guy is really on to something.

There has been alot of that same thing shoved down our throats over the last several years here . I like the idea but for a different reason . It is my hope that they all OD on the stuff . I see it as a public service to any society , to be rid of them .

Great. Replace one intrusion by the State with another.
