Kathryn, is teaching people how to shoot up in a less damaging way something the government should be doing? Well there’s a case to be made, of course, that the government should never have injected itself into the heroin business in the first place, but if we sidestep that little controversy, I think that most of us (bar the more purist libertarians) ought to be able to agree that a government leaflet that: (a) prohibits nothing; (b) involves little cash outlay; and (c) almost certainly saves taxpayer dollars, is not too bad a thing.
