“(Medical) Heroin”
In my own words heroin is an illegal drug that is a chemical blend formed from morphine, which is a natural substance that is taken from a poppy plants seed. This drug is usually in a white or brown powder that can be injected into a vein which is considered mainlining, injected into a muscle, placed on tinfoil and inhaled as smoke through a straw or snorted as powder via the nose. Heroin is a narcotic powder (C 21 H 23 NO 5) that was formerly used as an sedative/pain killer. In 2011, 1.6% of people used heroin at lest once, but 23% who used it became dependent on it. Heroin abuse is associated with many serious health conditions which include fatal overdose, spontaneous abortion, and infectious diseases such as hepatitis and HIV. The problem is how is medical heroin better than something regular heroin users have. They are both harmful and people are still addicted to it. Although when given by a doctor, it prevents the crime of getting it off the street and its more likely to be clean.

Don’t waste your request on this, CollegeKid. Save it for a more substantial argument. In short, we don’t need a definition of heroin. It requires none. For this challenging argument you’ve chosen, we could use a definition of addiction, perhaps. You could clarify what qualifies as a public health program; that seems to be in dispute. Many critics of the Vancouver experiment object that it doesn’t cure any addict’s addiction. But it does keep them out of the hospital. It keeps them from being injured in muggings gone wrong. It keeps them from being shot or beat up by police or angry citizens. It keeps them from sharing needles. Maybe even prevents them from turning to prostitution to earn drug money. Those all sound like public health benefits to me. Do you see the point? Nouns like heroin don’t deserve your time. Controversial terms like “social engineering” do.
I release you from this request. You can ask for another one.
