Something to Think About
By Hempology | February 15, 2007
The number of new heroin users in the Swiss state of Zurich rose more than 10 times from 1975 to 1990 before falling 82 percent by 2002, researchers at the Psychiatric University Hospital in Zurich said in the study. The government introduced a more liberal policy in 1991. “The medicalization of opiate dependence changed the image of heroin use as a rebellious act to an illness that needs therapy,” Carlos Nordt and Rudolf Stohler wrote in the study. “Heroin seems to have become a `loser drug,’ with its attractiveness fading for young people” (emphasis added).
The Swiss are just doing a much better job than Americas of helping users to realize what they’re actually doing.
