TB,

I support it, but it does not work as planned.

Keith Richard's new Bio, "Life" (fantastic, BTW, and I do mean FANTASTIC), talks about the British system in the late 60's/early 70's. Basically you would register as a junkie and lie about your dosage requirements. Then the junkies would sell the half they didn't need and have plenty of cash. And this was the primo pharmaceutical grade stuff.

As an interesting side note, under this system if you were registered as a heroin junkie, you were also provided an equal amount of pharmaceutical grade cocaine. The idea was that if the junkie combined them, then they might be productive as each would balance the other out. Wow, state sponsored, "speed balls" of the highest quality.
