Heroin addicts.
80 Answers
My nephew is a recovering heroin addict. At the moment he's taking methadone under supervision at his local chemist. As he's got the dreaded 'flu bug, I've had to pick him up & take him to the chemist myself.
When I got to the shop there were at least 12 druggies outside;arguing, fighting & trying to sponge money off passersby.
My question is: Do you think it's a good idea to take young people who are dabbling in drugs to the chemist's, to see what happens to them if they persist in taking drugs?

Not everyone has as much self preservation as you or maybe you have a better coping mechanism or maybe you are tougher skinned, maybe you find other ways of dealing with things eg vocalising your problems in other ways. As a cutter and dabbler in drugs I could have easily crossed that line into heroin had it been available to me, I suppose.
Anyway of course you are better than everyone else and a virtuous tolerant Christian man, I personally admire Carrust for helping his/her nephew. With any luck he will be able to tell his story of how he got through it all and make a good success of his life, on the other hand, you could just put him down,

Anyhooooos! Getting back to the original question.........
No, I don't think it's a good idea to take young people who are dabbling in drugs to see the effects that it has on person, to the chemist. I'm almost positive that each and every one of them will be of the mind that " Oh, I'll never get to that state, it'll never happen to me". I'm also willing to bet that they'll either by sympathetic or openly sneering at those unfortunates who they'll see as weak....afterall, they'll never ever let drugs do that to them............

i can honestly say that i can accept people using drugs..even class a drugs. why should any government be able to tell us what we can or can't put into our bodies as long as it's our own free choice. BUT....heroin is the dirtiest and most addictive drug in the world and anyone found to be selling it should be executed on the spot. i have personal experience of friends who got involved with heroin and despite all thier efforts to stop using they all ended up in the same graveyard. im sorry to have to tell you this but your nephew signed his own death warrant the first time he stuck that needle into his arm. it may be hard for you to accept but belive me it's only a matter of time before heroin kills him. along the way,like all junkies ,he will lie,cheat,steal and do things you would not belive him capable of just to get another fix. sorry carrust but i've seen it all before,nothing works.
