Heroin is nasty.
I for one do not believe in its' legalization but I would rather it were decriminalized. That implies that no criminal charges would be applied when a user is caught (less time in prison) and help for those who have been caught.
I believe also that Cold Turkey may not be nice but it might be the best chance an addict has.
If it was legalized would run into the hands of teens quicker than you say "legalize it" and that is not a good position at all. It only takes one or two hits to get addicted and we all know how much peer pressure plays a part so it would destroy a large percentage, I believe.
Drug dealers can be ruthless and while legalization might remove that problem, it would create an array of whole new ones.
JMO.
