The Swiss friends we visited earlier this week agree that this policy has had positive effects. We passed a park in Zurich that had formally been used by heroin addicts as a "shooting gallery", and was now being used by ordinary citizens including families with small children. They mentioned the change in the park as one of the benefits of the new policy.
Yeah, the kids no longer have to pay "mall prices" for their heroin. Let's be *real* here--it means the kids are giving some pervert a blow job for fifty cents worth of heroin, instead of for twenty dollars worth of heroin. Boy, just talking about this makes me miss my Uncle Jim.
