Well, I Guess We'll Be Moving to Vancouver Soon
A national study in Canada begins today with the opening of a heroin clinic in Vancouver. For a trial period of one year, the government will hand out free pharmaceutical-grade heroin or methadone. A similar trial in Switzerland resulted in few people giving up the drug, but did have a positive effect on crime and job rates among addicts. However, it's unclear how many employers would want to hire heroin junkies, even if the Canadian government is their supplier. Source
