The only thing that makes heroin inherently more dangerous is injection. Withdrawal is much more severe from herion than from methadone. quote:
Long term users are able to visit the clinic once a week and take the rest of their supply home. Yet they never overdose at home, even without supervision. And they never have to associate with criminals in order to acquire the drug. So your suggestion is to offer it from clinics? Im really confused about where you are going with this. quote:
Long term users are able to visit the clinic once a week and take the rest of their supply home. That depends on the clinic, specifically. Some do, some dont. quote:

February 8, 2010 (San Antonio, Texas) — A national review of unintentional overdose deaths involving opioids has shown that a disproportionate number of them are related to methadone use, researchers said here at the American Academy of Pain Medicine 26th Annual Meeting. In this review, 30% of such deaths involve methadone, whereas only 5% of the nation’s opioid prescriptions are written for methadone. Researchers noted that the problems appeared to center on those prescribed methadone for pain and not those receiving methadone at treatment centers for addiction. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/716603 A google search brought up many news stories about deaths related to the illegal selling of methadone to others as well as unintentional deaths related to methadone ingestion. quote:
As far as violence and murder, I think this depends on the person. Two men can go to a liquor store and buy a bottle of jack, one ends up going home and having a jack and coke, the other drinks the whole bottle, beats his wife and falls asleep in his own vomit. Should the fact that the second man is unable to control himself mean that the first shouldn't be able to drink at all? Its one of those things I dont have to have. So my answer would be yes. I find my highs naturally. Sex especially gives me some great highs.
