...Swiss government is now peddling heroin to its hard-core addicts. Since 1994, the Swiss government has used a heroin prescription program that enables doctors to provide heroin junkies with a strictly controlled dosage of heroin everyday. Shockingly enough, this program has succeeded in controlling the nation’s drug problem beyond the government’s wildest dreams. The Swiss pilot program—recently made permanent by a nationwide referendum on the issue—has saved the nation money, decreased crime rates, and halted the spread of infectious disease...

Of course, not just any addict can go to a center and obtain heroin.

Trying to put together a cohesive history of The Clash is rendered difficult. All the photos don’t help, either...
...planes, four cars and three homes before spending six and a half years in prison; the Prison Review Board member who voted to free notorious mobster Harry Aleman in exchange for getting his son a Las Vegas singing job; and the city employee who ran a heroin distribution ring out of Chicago's Department of Water Management. In Chicago's Hired Truck Scandal of 2004, trucking companies on city contracts were discovered to have links to city employees, convicted felons and the mob. And of course there was the time Mayor Richard M. Daley hired John "Quarters" Boyle...
