I don't know the solution to this, but I'm open to trying anything other than the failed police policies we've been repeating for what seems like forever. One of my nieces died from heart failure last year. She had been living on the street and been a hard core drug user. I can't say that it was heroin that killed her, because like most street users, she took anything she could get her hands on. But her heroin addiction was what kept her on the street. She had been through treatment more times than I can count. None helped for very long. In the end, she's dead at 29, a life completely wasted. Would legalized heroin with clean needles have saved her? Don't know. But our current system sure didn't.
