Addicts in The Netherlands get free heroin. Without the daily hustle to find the next high people have time to think instead. A lot of them find the peace to actually quit.
Actually it's really hard to keep the program going as the government doesn't like to be associated with free heroin.
- mirimir 10y agoSaying "next high" is just wrong. It's avoiding withdrawal aka your own personal hell.
- misja111 10y agoOnly very serious cases can get free heroin in The Netherlands. Some of the criteria: you have to be at least 5 years addicted, you need to have tried methadon to get over your addiction first, you need to be a daily user and need to have bad physical or mental health. None of those people quit after having been admitted to the program. But they do get a better life and are not forced to be criminals anymore.
