Swiss To Approve Prescription Heroin

A royale with cheese!
Awesome! What’s next, prescription IED’s?
GENEVA – Dr. Daniele Zullino keeps glass bottles full of white powder in a safe in a locked room of his office. Patients show up each day to receive their treatment in small doses handed through a small window.
Then they gather around a table to shoot up, part of a pioneering Swiss program to curb drug abuse by providing addicts a clean, safe place to take heroin produced by a government-approved laboratory.
The program has been criticized by the United States and the U.N. narcotics board, which said it would fuel drug abuse. But governments as far away as Australia are beginning or considering their own programs modeled on the system, which is credited with reducing crime and improving the health and daily lives of addicts.
Is that what we have come to; worrying about the quality of life of addicts?
Swiss voters are expected to make the system permanent Sunday in a referendum prompted by a challenge from conservatives. (H/T – Drudge)
Oh, I am certain that this vote will pass in a landslide. And almost immediately afterward, these Swiss Misses will bitch that the government is using their tax money to pay for this initiative.

This is great! There is no way hippies will be able to resist moving to Geneva, once we tell them about this. Imagine an America with no hippies, because they all moved to Switzerland.
