New York Becomes First State to Legalize Heroin
http://tophealthrecords.com/new-york-becomes-first-state-to-legalize-heroin/ By lussy | February 19, 2016 The state of New York made history this week, following on the heels of the wave of marijuana legalizations across the country. Recreational use of heroin will become fully legal in the state by the end of this year. The decision was met with controversy, but “no more or less than the original decision to legalize marijuana,” Governor Andrew Cuomo stated. The state is still figuring out some guidelines and ground rules for suppliers, such as purity levels, permits, and health code requirements. One of the major points in making this decision came from the number of dealers and users of the drug who repeatedly end up in New York’s correctional facilities. A program is already in its early stages to rehabilitate and compensate imprisoned heroin dealers to return to society and act as the leading distributors, hoping to speed up this process while simultaneously reintroducing inmates to society. Some of the decision’s most outspoken opponents, however, have been current dealers. “Making it legal is a terrible idea,” a dealer, who chooses to remain anonymous, told us. “We don’t want it regulated. We make good money how it is now, but regular guys like me won’t be able to keep up with all the government regulations. This is gonna put me out of a job!” Nonetheless, experts estimate this act will drop the state’s debt by as much as 50% in the first year. This may translate into tax cuts, more public projects, better road maintenance, and possibly even government rehabilitation programs for more dangerous drugs like cigarettes.

“Making it legal is a terrible idea,” a dealer, who chooses to remain anonymous, told us. “We don’t want it regulated. We make good money how it is now, but regular guys like me won’t be able to keep up with all the government regulations. This is gonna put me out of a job!” This is why I support legalizing ALL drugs. It would eradicate all the drug cartels and the crime associated with them. People will get their drugs one way or another...might as well make them safe(purity)and cheap to lower violent crime. |

Switzerland's innovative policy of providing drug addicts with free methadone and clean needles has greatly reduced deaths while cutting crime rates and should serve as a global model, health experts said on Monday. Countries whose drug policy remains focused on punishing offenders, including Russia and much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia, should learn from a Swiss strategy based on "harm reduction" that protects both users and communities, they said. Even Iran and China -- while far from espousing Switzerland's system of direct democracy -- have copied its methadone substitution programs, they added. The Alpine nation's experiment succeeded because Swiss political leaders adopted a pragmatic attitude toward an "uncontrollable" open drugs scene, according to a report "From the Mountaintops: What the World Can Learn from Drug Policy Change in Switzerland," by the Open Society Foundations. Soaring HIV infection rates, the highest in Western Europe, sparked alarm among the conservative public in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when up to 1,000 drug users gathered daily in Zurich's infamous Platzspitz park, dubbed "needle park." "We had to change perspective and introduce the notion of public health. We extended a friendly hand to drug addicts and brought them out of the shadows," Ruth Dreifuss, a former Swiss president and interior minister (1993-2002), told a briefing. Swiss authorities authorized experiments such as syringe exchange programs and safe injection rooms offering a shower, bed and hygienic conditions under medical supervision, said Dreifuss, who led the campaign to reform narcotic drug policy. HIV, DEATH RATES SLASHED Some 70 percent of the 20,000-30,000 opiate or cocaine users in Switzerland now receive treatment, one of the highest rates globally, said Dr. Ambros Uchtenhagen, who helped pioneer heroin substitution and chairs the Research Institute for Public Health and Addiction at Zurich University. "The number of drug injectors with HIV has been reduced by over 50 percent in 10 years. Overdose mortality among injectors has been reduced by over 50 percent in the decade," he said. "Delinquency related to drugs has been reduced enormously." Family doctors now prescribe about 60 percent of opiate substitution treatment in Switzerland and the Internet was vital in informing users about access to treatment, Uchtenhagen added. "I'm really impressed with the policies Switzerland has put in place, which are based on sound science and grounded in good global health policies and human rights," said Dr. Michel Kazatchkine, executive director of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. "Switzerland is clearly a pioneer." Up to 10 percent of all new HIV infections worldwide every year occur through injecting drug use, he said. An estimated 3 million of the 33.4 million people living with the HIV virus inject drugs, he said. "So it is a huge problem." The AIDS epidemic is spreading faster in the Eastern Europe and Central Asia region than anywhere else, led by drug users, according to Kazatchkine. "We are still facing huge societal, political and cultural resistance to implementing evidence-based policies for intravenous drug uses," he said. He said Russia, home to nearly 1 million people living with HIV, more than half of them drug-users, was especially reluctant to abandon its drugs policy based on law and order. "Russia is totally closed to the idea, it is impossible to open a dialogue," Kazatchkine said. http://www.thelocal.ch/20120531/3427 Switzerland’s parks were at one time notoriously packed with heroin addicts. Lyssandra Sears meets with one of the world’s leading drug experts to find out how the Swiss broke with convention and cracked the problem. "The Swiss population has generally always had a high addiction liability in comparison to other European countries, in alcoholism, cigarette smoking, and in illegal drugs as well," says 83-year-old Professor Ambros Uchtenhagen, president of the Addiction Research Institute at Zurich University and consultant to, among others, the World Health Organization. The heroin problem reached its pinnacle in Switzerland in the 1980s, when cities such as Zurich and Bern became famous for their open drug scenes. These hubs attracted large numbers of drug users from all over the country and beyond. ........ |

Let's look at the terrorist organizations, Cuomo wants
Americans to support financially. Afghanistan, is a major opium producing country. Taliban/Al Qaeda. Monies can, and are funneled between groups worldwide, in support of terrorism. China, not a military or political ally of the U.S., is also a major producer of opium. Yay! |

Im sorry man but all that made me laugh. Aint nobody gonna mess with the cia's cash cow. Drug War? American Troops Are Protecting Afghan Opium. U.S. Occupation Leads to All-Time High Heroin Production By Washington's Blog Global Research, June 10, 2014 Washington's Blog and Global Research 13 November 2013 Region: Asia Theme: Global Economy, US NATO War Agenda In-depth Report: AFGHANISTAN It is well-documented that the U.S. government has – at least at some times in some parts of the world – protected drug operations. (Big American banks also launder money for drug cartels. See this, this, this and this. Indeed, drug dealers kept the banking system afloat during the depths of the 2008 financial crisis. And the U.S. drug money laundering is continuing to this day.) The U.S. military has openly said that it is protecting Afghani poppy fields: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgKmJESBFsw#t=98 As Wikipedia notes: Opium production in Afghanistan has been on the rise since U.S. occupation started in 2001. Indeed, a brand new report from the United Nations finds that opium production is at an all-time high. Common Dreams notes: The cultivation of opium poppy in Afghanistan—a nation under the military control of US and NATO forces for more than twelve years—has risen to an all-time high, according to the 2013 Afghanistan Opium Survey released Wednesday by the United Nations. According to the report, cultivation of poppy across the war-torn nation rose 36 per cent in 2013 and total opium production amounted to 5,500 tons, up by almost a half since 2012. “This has never been witnessed before in the history of Afghanistan,” said Jean-Luc Lemahieu, the outgoing leader of the Afghanistan office of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, which produced the report. *** The U.S. military has allowed poppy cultivation to continue in order to appease farmers and government officials involved with the drug trade who might otherwise turn against the Afghan Karzai government in Kabul. Fueling both sides, in fact, the opium and heroin industry is both a product of the war and an essential source for continued conflict. Public Intelligence has published a series of photographs showing American – and U.S.-trained Afghan – troops patrolling poppy fields in Afghanistan. Public Intelligence informs us that all of the photos are in the public domain, and not subject to copyright, and they assured me that I have every right to reproduce them. We produce these photos and the accompanying descriptions from Public Intelligence without further comment.  http://www.globalresearch.ca/drug-war-american-troops-are-protecting-afghan-opium-u-s-occupation-leads-to-all-time-high-heroin-production/5358053 Seems you have your terrorists reversed! LOL Taliban destroy poppy fields in surprise clampdown on Afghan opium growers Action by Taliban welcomed by government and clerics but insurgent says destruction was for religious reasons Afghan poppy cultivation An Afghan man extracts some of the weaker poppy plants on his farm, 10 miles east of Jalalabad. Photograph: Robert Nickelsberg/Getty Images Emma Graham-Harrison in Kabul Sunday 20 May 2012 14.58 EDT Last modified on Tuesday 26 January 2016 13.11 EST Taliban fighters have destroyed fields of opium poppies in eastern Afghanistan this spring, the first time since 2001 the hardline Islamist group is known to have clamped down on the cultivation of a drug that provides a big part of its funding. While the insurgents appear to have dug up a relatively small area of poppies in a remote area near the border with Pakistan, the move was so unusual it won a chorus of praise from the Afghan government and international organisations, whom the Taliban consider their enemy, as well as senior clerics. "They just did what the constitution ordered," said Wasifullah Wasifi, a spokesman for the provincial governor in Kunar, where the eradication took place. "The provincial governor really appreciates what the insurgents did. From the perspective of Islam it is forbidden and a crime to grow drugs," Wasifi said, adding that nearly a hectare had been destroyed by the Taliban in the province's Manawara district, in addition to a far larger amount eradicated by the government. An Afghan opium addict shows the opium he consumed in a day An Afghan opium addict show the amount he consumed in a day The country representative of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime in Afghanistan, Jean-Luc Lemahieu, confirmed that the Taliban had uprooted poppy fields in Kunar, and said he hoped the "rare event" might presage a stronger approach to controlling drug production. "We welcome this new approach and would hope that this is not a one-time exception but that the Taliban, and others alike, would take a principled stance against the narcotics business," he said. Advertisement Afghanistan has for years produced the vast majority of the world's opium, with only a brief break in 2001 when the Taliban government, which had previously relied on the crop to bolster its coffers, unexpectedly dug up most of the country's poppy fields. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/may/20/taliban-destroy-poppy-afghan-opium where you guys dig up so much bogus information beats me. We went in to protect the poppy fields that were being destroyed by the taliban! Watch the youtube if you want to hear the commanding officer say it! LOL This is why the made the movie the matrix.
