this is gona b an epidemic, look at 'nam/china, im an addict and ive never seen kids as young 6 gettin addicted to heroin, at least under the taliban people were in fear of gettin addicted coz the taliban said that heroin was for the west only, if they found their own people doing heroin, punishments were as harsh as beheading, wot do these people have after addiction? no promise of a nice life just more misery, this is gona get way worse b4 it can even get better, wot is our world comin to.

@DerEwigeKurde: You don't know what you're talking about. Clonidine is a blood pressure medication that helps with the hypertensive adverse effects of withdrawal. Suboxone is an opioid antagonist that effectively blocks opiates, so you can't get high from them.

i dont believe that during th taliban thAT WERENT NO addicts, i think they were hidden and smoked opium, with so much poppies and without medicine they use opium for everything, i think the nr of addicts are the same only now there is no censorship

@beaumiller81

that jsut plays into the hands of the drug companies who share the blame for this issue.

We destroy seized opium so as not to dent their profits.

If we used seized opium for addicts or heroin )+ (we could licence farmers-starve dealers)we could taper them down and its easier than suboxone(which is dangerous should u have an accident and naltraxone cause extreme depression) or even give them a maintenance dose so long as they can work as addicts can and do when they have drugs.

@beaumiller81 no they need to kick all opiates and burn all the poppy fields, suboxone and clonodine is replacing 1 addiction for another
