According to the European monitoring centre for drugs and drug addiction, the UK is now the drug overdose capital of the continent. If either approach worked we would be seeing a reduction in the numbers of addicts. Essentially it boils down to a mixture of the criminalisation of drug addiction, and the maintenance of drug addicts using methadone and other substitutes.

Our society’s current approach to drug addiction is woefully inadequate and largely ineffective. The Georgia Senate on Monday approved legislation that aims to crack down on drag racing in Georgia, sending it governor for his signature.
Recognising this is essential to understanding the roots of addiction, and to not alienate addicts who feel confused and guilty because they cannot identify with the more obvious traumatic events of others. Oftentimes it’s simply an inability, for whatever reason, to develop the mechanisms to cope with the environment we find ourselves in, making seemingly innocuous environments traumatic. It is important to recognise that trauma comes in many forms, and it’s not always the result of abuse. The isolated rats were seven times as likely to choose the morphine over the water. The isolated rats were deprived of any stimuli, in effect being traumatised, while the others had plentiful social connections and a haven-like environment. A 21-year-old Oliver man faces charges of possessing heroin and crack cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. Mason, 40, of Kingston, was charged with fourth-degree. Neighbors gathered along the fence, blocked by a phalanx of cops. Both groups had access to morphine and water. KINGSTON, NY An Ulster County man was arrested for allegedly having crack cocaine after the car in which he was traveling was stopped for speeding. Fifteen narcotics detectives and patrol officers foot soldiers in America’s Sisyphean war on drugs were looking for a local man who, one informant had assured them, was trafficking crack cocaine and armed with an assault rifle.
Bruce Alexander, a researcher at Simon Fraser University, separated a group of rats, putting some in barren isolated cages, and others in stimulating rat “theme parks”. A well-known experiment known as “Rat Park” from 1979 underlines this connection. Trauma is a major contributing factor to mental health problems, and addiction is often an attempt to self-medicate those problems. Heroin killed two of my sons and I want it legally regulated
