But this "curing" involves a process of weaning-off.The weaning-off would be best achieved with heroin.
It also requires the drug user to actually want to be weaned off it. Those who don't want to will continue buying heroin, and since it's illegal, they will have to pay the high prices necessary to persuade certain enterprising inviduals to smuggle it into the country stuffed inside dogs and suchlike. I am in favour of the taxpayer paying for it instead, since it would then be semi-legal and much cheaper, due to obviating the need for any smuggling rigmarole.
