NYC's Heroin How-To Handbook Not A Hit

[The Northerner]

Source: NBC New York

A New York City-funded guidebook for heroin users is offering information on how to prepare drugs carefully and how to care for veins to avoid infection.

But the state's top official with the Drug Enforcement Administration called it a "step-by-step instruction on how to inject a poison."

...

The 16-page pamphlet features helpful tips for dopeheads like: "Warm your body (jump up and down) to show your veins," and "find your vein before you try to inject."

Other tips include: "Only 'boot' once or twice in one shot."

1. Good old NYC. No cigarette smoking allowed but a handbook for

heroin users.

The tax dollars at work.

4. That about says it all.

My hometown. Ugh. Maybe the book should give directions to nearby clinics instead.

2. Trying to stop disease is a good thing. The booklet is a good idea

and since it only cost 34k to produce, it should save a lot of money in future medical expenses.

They printed 70,000 copies of it.

8. Because the DEA has been sooo successful

You'd think the DEA would keep a low profile after getting caught assisting narco-traffickers in Columbia.
