Yea, thats old news. Better than weening them off using Methadone...

There's a flick I watched a few months ago called Methadonia. I think its posted in the HBO doc's section. Interesting shit.

Free drugs has been a U.K., method of dealing with drug abuse for many years. Does it really work or does it just entice more to become drug addicted ??? Seriously, is there any sound evidence of its effectiveness? Would it work in our society ???

I have never understood the big deal about people taking drugs. If they want to slowly (or quickly) kill themselves, why not let them? After all cigarettes and alcohol are legal...
