At one placed I lived in for a few years I suffered a spate of burgalries, it was when laptops were a grand, and I had three nicked and replaced by the insurance until after the third the insurance company refused to offer me a policy.

The policeman after the third burgalry said it's sad, "they've probably each gone for about £50 worth of heroin"

so for a grand total of £150 of brown, I've lost £3000 worth of computer equipemnt. The overhead in terms of policeing, lost work by me and administrating the insurance end probably put a whole cost of those episodes (I'm estimating here) at about £5000.

I've heard that legally heroin can be manufactured for the equivalent of £2 a gramme, and to administer 3 grammes of it to an addict certainly isn't going to cost £5000.

Most burgalry at least in the UK is heroin related.So why not let heroin addicts have a free regulated supply without the inpurity issues that often lead to overdose ? I met a senior member of Manchester's judiciary and was talking to him about the above figures and the posibilty of legalising drugs and he replied that it would never happen in the UK becuase 80 % of the judiciary would be out of work overnight.
