Then what's YOUR definition of a 'bad' person??
-or-
they're good people... just doing bad things?
-or-
they're destroying their body and soul... but that's just their choice?
-or-
good people / bad people is just an arbitrary choice created by any given society?
-or-
labeling people bad is just an oppression by the majority?
then I say again...
If the bottom 10 % of society is 'bad' what constitutes the bottom 10 %?? Killers, thieves, drug addicts, perverts??

Methadone kills more children every year than heroin. Children don't die from heroin, their parents keep it away from them. Methadone, used to wean addicts off heroin, has to be kept in the fridge. Toddlers regularly mistake it for juice and drink it. We have to find better ways to help addicts.
Many heroin addicts have no problem, because they earn enough money to support the habit. Someone with a small, regular habit can keep it together to keep their job without anyone noticing. It's one reason drug testing at work has been introduced; not everyone that takes drugs 'looks like' an addict and you can't tell. The problem is when people can't afford a clean supply, and turn to petty crime. It consumes their whole day; getting money, scoring, getting high.
There's an old saying, "there but for the grace of god go I". I know its difficult to imagine yourself trapped in that lifestyle, but try to have a little humanity. Criminalising people hasn't stopped the problem and never will.
The petty crime rate and insurance premiums are through the roof; one way or another we pay for other peoples drug use if they can't . I'd prefer to give a clean supply to registered addicts and get them out of the crime scene.

There many bads but not all.
It''s bad one person who knowing that heroin is addictive and make you going down tell other people to try heroin, so regardless they konw that is a bad thing they envite others to do the same.
But the ones who don't do that kind of things just are slaves of heroin and need a light in their lives

Thats like saying are all people that dont take heroin good?
Its the drug that is bad, the addiction that makes them go to any lengths to feed the habit. Many types of people make a heroin addict, bored ones, stupid one, clever ones, rich ones, poor ones, thrill seekers, hurt people, abused people - I guess the only thing they have in common is that they all made a very bad choice one day - to take that first try.

No, but perhaps not as strong as some. I think they have issues and heroin is a way to either fit in or remove them from a situation. I guess getting off the stuff is incredibly hard and needs strength.

Nope. Lots of people become opiate addicts, from all walks of life. They don't necessarily start off with heroin either. Some start simply by using opoids such as Percocet for injuries etc, then get hooked and tolerances become greater.

No. Not all crack addicts are bad, not all heroine addicts are bad, not all alcoholics are bad, not all meth users are bad.
Not all
They have simply been misled (And I don't mean from god or anything).
They just need to have someone supportive help them back up onto their feet so they can be productive society memebers again. :)

they may have problems but instead of facing them take what they think is the easy way out then get in to deep which is not the answer as the problem still exists in the real world they only escape for a while come back to earth with a bump and it starts all over again
