You are a person who usually understand the mechanics of the market very well. This policy makes perfect sense, since the alternative creates much more violence due to the drug war.pic.twitter.com/bhMUlreV7S
Norwegian government announces free heroin will be prescribed to addicts to “improve their quality of life.”https://dailym.ai/2B5aMkb

It's not like everyone can just queue up and get heroin for free.

Will the government do the same for alcoholics, sex addicts, gamblers,etc?
-
Those things are not illegal, so usually people who rely on those things to function doesn't have to steal to get it. When addicts are out on the streets to get heroin, they also get all kinds of crap. Norway is near the top on overdose deaths per capita in Europe.
-
I'm talking about reinforcing the addiction as opposed to stopping the addiction.
-
For these run-down addicts to even have a chance to rid the addiction, they need some stable ground to build from. If all waking hours are spent trying to get the next fix (often including crimes), how is it possible to get back to a job or a normal life?

Yes, works for a lot of people, but there are some downsides to methadone vs heroin AFAIK: Heroin can also be smoked instead of injected, which makes it easier to kick the habit later. Methadone is also addictive, harmful and has nasty side effects for a lot of people.

There are two sides to this. One is the idea that ‘the state’ makes a drug illegal and then uses stolen/tax money to give the drug. That is just typical of the ugly mess ‘the state’ makes of everything it is involved in. ->
-
-> Two is: what is best for drug addicts to mitigate their situation and to help them. Having them involved in a criminal situation is not helpful I consider. In a stateless situation it is possible an organisation would provide the drug for addicts as that is better than crime.

Free provision gets drug users safe from poor quality drug, not using crime & dealing to fund their habit, using medical/counciling services, undercutting the drug trade, controlling infectious diseases, taking drug out of wider non-addict social circles, etc etc. No down side.
-
As we have a society that believes in the indoctrinated cult of ‘the state’ it is better ‘the state’ allow the free provision of addict’s drugs than not let it happen at all.

The
is basically promoting bad habits/ideologies (Left)
I believe as a Christian conservative we're in the time where our prophets predicted that 'right will be wrong' & 'wrong will be right' & even the chosen will be misled if God doesn't shorten the time

Norway must be jealous that Sweden is so far ahead of them in the national suicide game.

This is the new definition of insanity. Their money would be spent better towards treatment & support for the families.
