If you think more access to heroin will not lead to more addicts, you are really unaware of human nature or reality. It definitely will. Now, the question for you is the fact at least it is &quot;free&quot; is better for society and some notion of &quot;freedom&quot; that having more addicts in society.<p>You cannot compare the &quot;addictiveness&quot; of alcohol and heroine, although there happen to be many addicted to alcohol and many alcohol related deaths.<p>I&#x27;m not sure why you are not convinced, is it because you don&#x27;t want to be? There are already tremendous amounts of people addicted to legally obtained opiates, I think this is a terribly naive view.<p>If you believe the only thing that matters is for all drugs to be free then just say that but don&#x27;t pretend the quantity of addicted decreases because the accessibility goes up. Imagine if you were a gambler, would you really make that bet?
