Drugs

Probably just me but isn't there a simple cure for the drug problem?

Since Bush and Blair got rid of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Afghan farmers have started producing tons of opium again (the Taliban were against drug production), so the world will be flooded with more and more heroin.
So why not use this new resource for our benefit? Free Heroin to anyone that wants it, no need to go round mugging people and burgling people's houses to get money for drugs.
The drug dealers wouldn't need to shoot each other (and innocent people) for dealing on their patch as there would be no customers, and the users would all be too stoned to cause aggro.
The money saved on policing drug areas could be given to the NHS for new hospitals because obviously there could be thousands of drug users who might survive the overdoses and would need medical aid, giving plenty of work for doctors and nurses which would generate more income tax for the government.
A large proportion of benefit claimants would be "on a different planet" and would forget to sign on, saving even more money.
A large proportion of the prison community in for drug related crimes could be dosed up and let out, leaving room for proper criminals like the dealers who would probably have to turn to other crimes after having their main source of income taken away.

Just a thought :)
