An addiction to heroin is just that , other than being addictive there are no harmful side effects other than may-be constipation which is more annoying than harmful. Alchohol addiction though can be physically and mentally destructive, I can't think of a drug like alchohol that has such far reaching absolute devastation and yet the canadian gov'mt sees fit to keep this drug illegal and heroin illegal.
There's probably going to be many people that read this and won't believe that Heroin, that as Canadians we've told time and time again about the evils of heroin and the destruction of alchohol is down-played, yet the truth is, an addiction to legal heroin compared to a addiction to alchohol is so much safer . Our goverment has lied to Canadians how bad heroin is while down playing the absolute devastation and misery that the drug alchohol causes in this country .
Why aren't Canadians told the truth. As a drug heroin is in fact very safe.

Have you ever seen a long-term heroin addict?
Right - they don't live that long.
Heroin abuse is associated with serious health conditions, including fatal overdose, spontaneous abortion, collapsed veins, and, particularly in users who inject the drug, infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS and hepatitis.
I agree that alcohol is destructive, but not in the same ways and to the same extent as Heroin.

i'm an ex-junkie and drug addict, sparkling now for 10 years. and that i comply with an volume. Marijuans and alcohol are the two touted as extremely possibility unfastened. One is criminal, the different very almost. And yet i understand that they are the two maximum damaging drugs I ever put in my physique in 25 years of lively drug abuse; alcohol damages the physique, marijuana the brains potential to keep in mind. yet heroin is a rather addictive substance bodily. Cocaine is extremely addictive mentally. yet I recommend legalizing each and every little thing and spend the money we waste interior the "conflict On drugs" (which we lost years in the past) on education and medical care. Prohibition did no longer paintings interior the '20s. Nixon's conflict On drugs (1974, simply by fact totally one million/4 of returning Vietnam vets have been hooked on Asian heroin) has cost billions and yet i'm able to cop in any substantial US city in an hour, tops.

Heroin, as the Bayer company called diacetylmorphine, was, at the turn of the century neither controlled nor illegal. It is a controlled substance. In fact it is being used in Vancouver, in lieu of methadone, for opiate maintenance.

Because moderate consumption of alcohol has no side effects compared to moderate shooting up of heroin- which leads to many things puking is the one that comes to mind FIRST . heartaches,death, poor judgment. I think you can have one drink and drive. Shoot up once and see how far out of the garage you get.

the person's consciousness fluctuates – eyelids may droop, close and open again (they are 'on the nod'),
they sweat and itch, scratching themselves continually,
they have trouble urinating, even though the bladder is full,
they feel nauseous and may vomit, though the nausea doesn't distress them,
they breathe more slowly than normal,
the pupils of their eyes get much smaller (the eyes are 'pinned'),
they get constipated
OH YEAH, I am going to hire this person for work!!!

In your above "question", you could switch the words "heroin" and "alcohol" and it would still make the same amount of sense.
