It a real cracker with Howard going against everyone including his own party. His main support was from Ackerman, Alan Jones, Bolt, Laws, Neil Mitchell etc ... the usual crowd who we've all grown to hate so much. 4 Corners did a special on it and it was a real eye opener for anyone who didn't know the ins & outs.<BR/><BR/>Heroin is slowly losing it's mystique and bad boy image. It's a horrible drug to get addicted to but only 10% of users ever get hooked. Over half of the those who do get hooked and don't kick the habit after 5 years usually have some mental health issue and would have been addicted to something anyway ... usually alcohol. To me the odds of 10% is still way too risky for the suffering that could happen.<BR/><BR/>Just a quick point. You mostly see addicts who are scruffy and unemployed. Heroin users who are middle class and up follow a strict routine of never using during the week and therefore never get addicted or get in the public eye. Most people don't realise this. At least half of the people I know who use, have jobs and about half of those are not addicts.Terry Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331435244789111209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426187053282004467.post-42735617578129088572008-04-16T22:12:00.000+10:002008-04-16T22:12:00.000+10:00I guess if the cowards in our previous government ...I guess if the cowards in our previous government hadn't stopped the ACT heroin trials we'd well and truly know the answer to your questions by now Terry. Isn't it amazing how we can suddenly see how little we've progressed while Howard and his goons were in power?<BR/><BR/>Of course they don't give a fuck about junkies, most of them aren't voters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426187053282004467.post-28871285530714009992008-04-12T19:25:00.000+10:002008-04-12T19:25:00.000+10:00No, she wasn't a heroin user.She had respiratory c...No, she wasn't a heroin user.<BR/><BR/>She had respiratory complications whilst asleep due to glandular fever.Terry Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331435244789111209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426187053282004467.post-17212737662487419772008-04-12T19:07:00.000+10:002008-04-12T19:07:00.000+10:00How did your wife die?How did your wife die?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
