Heroin is not a lolly

THIS letter is regarding Fiona Clarke's comments (Northern Territory news, December 19) about making heroin legal.

It would appear to justify her own frailty. Is she for real?

What next, shall we be praising the pusher at the school gates for luring our children into a life of dependency and degradation? Get real.

Statistics would show there are more deaths from alcohol and tobacco. It is a misnomer to compare a "recreational substance" with chocolate.
