Denmark’s heroin clinics running short on stash
May 18, 2009 - icenews.is
Denmark’s new state-financed heroin clinics have just enough political backing and plenty of funding, but they can’t find enough heroin. Five city councils are set to be the first districts in Denmark where heroin addicts can receive free treatment and help kicking their habit.
But at least one clinic, in the town of Odense, hasn’t opened yet because it is having difficulty scoring enough heroin to handle the needs of its patients, according to the Fyens Stiftstidende newspaper.
More than a year ago, the Danish parliament allocated 70 million kroner to set up heroin clinics in Copenhagen, Odense, Arhus, Esbjerg, and Glostrup. Copenhagen got the lion’s share of the funding, pocketing nearly half of the total amount. But the National Board of Health is having a hard time finding a pharmaceutical company that is able to supply enough heroin, package it, and deliver it at a reasonable price.
The newspaper Fyens Stiftstidende says that the government has therefore embarked on a fact-finding mission abroad (location unstated) where it hopes to learn more about the practical side of its project, such as storing and distributing heroin.
Another obstacle facing Odense’s heroin clinic, which is scheduled to open on 1 January, is that locals don’t want the clinic opened in their backyard. The present drug treatment centre in the city reports it is running into difficulties finding a clinic location for the users and the staff due to local bias against junkies.

hows this for a choice: do you want junkies jumping fences into your yard to shoot dope, or do you want them to do it legally down the street?

Id prefer in the clinic over my backyard.
What junkies do on their own time is their business.

Ironic that there is more heroin available on the street than legally available. The same situation in the UK where there also is a shortage of legal heroin.
>The present drug treatment centre in the city reports it is running into difficulties due to local bias against junkies.<
Perhaps the bias may be caused in part by the press referring to medicine as stash and patients as junkies.

Or legalize poppies/opium/heroin altogether and stop financing the terrorists out to kill us, stop destroying the crops of poor farmers forcing them towards the Taleban, stop gang violence in the states, minimize overdose by having pure/uncut product, eliminate the suffering of the ill, help addicts, end wars, improve the economy... but your idea is probably more practical in the short-run. Yes, definitely a win-win situation.
What the hell do we with all the confiscated drugs, anyway? We destroy some, for show mostly. Some ends up back on the street by way of crooked cops, some just 'disappears', but the rest absolutely should be given, traded, or sold to countries that desperately need it.

You mean do you want junkies stealing your grandmothers purse off her shoulder or banging a shot in a controlled environment where they don't have to Steele to score.
