the best way?
in my opinion, and its just my opinion, and maybe I’m wrong
I think give it away free at clinics, then nobody is selling themselves for it or robbing people, it might cut crime in half maybe, AND then we and the authorities know EXACTLY who is addicted and how badly, and can star helping them, if they want help.

Burn all the poppy fields and quit playing games with the countries who don’t regulate it’s exporation.
I think showing unconditional love and caring for your children while instilling positive moral values in them would have a tremendous impact on preventing kids from getting into drugs in the first place.
Why stop at herion. What about all the other drugs that are being abused daily, legal and illegal, prescribed and unprecribed. It’s a sad thing, isnt it?
Just pray that people will wake up and see what harm they are doing to their bodies and lives.
Police action and control has proved next to useless in eradicating the drug plague. The so-called moral stance of the right has had little effect.
The only thing that is left is education. But education is never a politically-popular solution. It involves immediate costs, and it is not flashy and impressive, like police busts. Our culture also does not really favor education. We favor instruction, but not education. Instruction is about making children ready to participate in the economy; being able to read, write and count and, maybe, today, use a computer.
Education goes further than that. Education teaches a child about their place in the world. It teaches a child about ideas, and how to navigate them, and accept some as its own, and reject others. It teaches a child to be a citizen and to develop a community consciousness. It touches on the subjects of morality, etc…, etc…
Education is sorely lacking in this culture. As long as this is the case, the misguided need for drugs will be felt. Drugs will never be eradicated. But a community of free citizens has little need for them.
One way is reduce the need to want to try heroin
You can’t prevent someone from using, they have to chose not to use. Though showing support and love for someone in the situation would be a good idea.
We can’t but we could try to just prevent it.
p.s. thanxz 4 answering one of my questions!!! =+)
We can’t.
bann it & take steps to ensure it is not produced/ traded
Lock them up in tiny escape proof cages (with no heroin of course).
Why can’t we stop humans from doing anything ? I guess cause we are all humans and all have flaws
By increasing the comfort level of the average person so that he/she does not feel compelled to seek comfort from such a source. This will not stop those that are already on the drug but it will make it less likely that the average person would risk such a risky way of finding comfort. Also addressing the depression problem in the US as a social-environmental problem would help a lot too.
fix the problem they’re trying to escape from by using herion. nobody uses drugs just to do it- obviously, theyre not happy with something, and they’re using the drugs to MAKE them happy. but it’s their own damn body and i think they can do whatever they want to it. i wouldn’t want someone to come up and tell me to stop taking my anxiety medication just the same way a heroin user wouldn’t like someone to come up and tell them to stop using herion.
Perhaps educating people may help. The illusion of a high from heroin, methamphetamine, alcohol or anything addictive will always be there. We need to teach people from infancy that getting high and dropping out is not the solution to there problems. As long as people think that they are “different” and “it can not get hooked “, the drug usage will continue as always. once they get sick and tired of being sick and tired try and direct them to a program like NA or AA and pray that they get there before they get to the morgue.
The same way we try to prevent any drug and alcohol abuse. I work as a prevention and intervention specialist in elementary through high school. I provide education about the dangers of drugs and alcohol, but more importantly in my mind, I teach children coping skills, social skills and refusal skills. I also teach about the addictive process. Children who have been impacted by a family member’s substance abuse or domestic violence are statistically at greater risk of developing a substance abuse problem themselves. Therefore, intervention with these children is crucial.
i didn’t know people abuse heroines…. i thought they r objects of fantasy…. i don’t think people abuse them unless they r in some way related to them… or else it may be the possibility that… people want to prove them wrong in front of someone…. in order to avoid there childrens or relative from exposing them selves by wear short skirts… or open top ..etc
We really can’t, we can just educate them about heroin….even then there isn’t much we can do.
The only way would be to stop the importation of the drug into the country. Which is probably impossible.
It’s just the temptation thing, it’s like trying to teach abstinence to high-schoolers, it’s just not going to happen.
pay attention to them enough so that they don’t have to turn to something that will eventually harm them.
I don’t really know Sammi but our schools in this part of the country teach the danger’s of taking drugs of all kinds. It doesn’t seem to help a lot because so many of our young people dont pay attention or really dont care. Our jails are so over crowded that new jails all around are having to build new jails or adding to the old ones and people are stealing every where to buy their drugs. I dont believe anyone has a real answer to your question.
If it wasn’t Heroin, it would be something else!
Some people are just hooked on taking drugs.
Better security to stop it coming into the country in the 1st place. Thy even smuggle it into prison
I don’t have my sources near me, but I have written enough on this subject to know it by heart. Almost 30 years ago the US and Holland took two entirely different approaches to the Heroin problem in their countries. The US made laws more strict, while the Dutch provided needles and a safe quite place for them addicts to shoot up as long as they didn’t bother anyone. Before these two different approaches went into affect the average heroin user was 25 in both countries. Now in the US the average heroin user is 19, with many 8th graders trying the drug for the first time and in Holland the average user is 35. I think the answer is pretty self explanatory.
