Heroin How-To Will Stay On The Streets

phpsxvGSsPM.jpg Councilmember Peter Vallone Jr. has failed in his mission to talk City Health Commissioner Thomas Farley into pulling the controversial heroin how-to guide off the streets (it's been there since 2007). The folks at Housing Works report that the two have met and agreed to disagree; one saying it's harmful and a starter guide, the other saying it's helpful. While the pamphlet will no longer be online, it will continue to be distributed throughout the city. Vallone says the latter includes distributing to "people being released from Riker’s [and other locations]."

    They'll need it when our soldiers come back with their afghan heroin addictions, but hey, CNN or whoever never tells you that part of the story.

    I always wanted to do heroin, but I never knew how. Thanks to the instructions provided by this pamphlet, I'll now be able to try it.
