* Prescribing injectable heroin: Evidence shows it can draw users into treatment, is safer, and can help long-term users stabilise their lives.

* Drug consumption rooms: Provide a safe house for drug users to inject, where they do not cause a nuisance and can be monitored.

* Methadone substitution: Offered as an alternative to street drugs it is taken orally, is safer, and gives a gentler high.

* Needle exchange: Providing clean needles reduces the risk of the transmission of diseases including HIV and hepatitis.

* Relaxing the law on cannabis: Downgraded two years ago from a class B to class C drug to free police to concentrate on suppliers

I saw on MSNBC that alot of places already do the needle exchange.

We already have a lot of that over here. We have injecting rooms to stop people from shooting up on the streets and to provide them with safe needles, which is proving quite effective.
We also have the methadone program over here, which really hasn't proved that effective, as all it does is make heroin addicts dependant on methadone instead of heroin, which really isn't that much better. And I would know considering my uncle is on the Methadone and has over dosed on more than one occasion.

Legalization of drugs?

Kick back and talk about just about anything non wrestling related. You know the drill.
