Vale tudo, na ca�a aos votos. E portanto tamb�m na ca�a aos votos dos toxicodependentes!
Pior, quando se quer transformar a politica em ci�ncia e vice-versa.
Onde est� a seriedade t�o apregoada?
Pois parece ter sidio descoberta pelo Bloco a nova terap�tutica - Graal!
A hero�na inject�vel!
E no entanto....
Seegue-se um extracto que evidencia bem como a montanha pariu um rato e se serve dele para folclore eleitoral:
(pe�o desculpa por estar em ingl�s...mas foi copy past da net):
For years, prescribing injectable heroin to opiate addicts has been unique to the UK. Indeed prescribing any injectable agonist as part of the treatment for opiate addiction occurs only in the UK, apart from a few experimental schemes with injectable morphine which have been mooted (Goldstein 1974) and implemented in The Netherlands (Derks 1990a,b) and three patients who are the rump of 27 heroin addicts who were started on injectable methadone in 1977 in Queensland, Australia (Reynolds, A., personal communication, 1993).

This potential conflict is explored by Stimson and Oppenheimer (1982). If clinics were to be given the twin aims of medical care and social control, could these aims always be met together, or might they sometimes be in conflict? 'For example, the social control of addiction might be best pursued by a maintenance-prescribing approach, but this might not be the best treatment for an individual patient The social control of addiction was usually seen as the primary task of the clinics. This conflict was also considered by Mitcheson and Hartnoll (1978) in one of the early considerations of their study of prescribing injectable heroin versus oral methadone. They observed that
... overall, prescribing heroin can be seen as maintaining the status quo with the majority of heroin-maintained patients continuing to inject heroin regularly: prescribing heroin is not associated with an improvement in social functioning or a reduction in consumption of illegal drugs, as is sometimes claimed. It may reduce the degree of involvement in criminal activity, especially in terms of arrests and conviction rates. Refusal to prescribe heroin, while offering oral methadone, constitutes a more confrontational response by the clinic and results in a higher abstinence rate. On the other hand this treatment is less acceptable to the client and the clinic fails to maintain a regular contact with the group of clients who continue to use illicit drugs ...
Por qui se v� que est� longe de ter obtido consenso cient�fico esta "solu��o terap^^eutica" sendo significativa a sua escassa utiliza��o mesmo na Inglaterra!
N�o se est� a fazer pol�tica s�ria assim.
Onde est� a seriedade t�o apregoada?
Est�-se apenas a fazer folclore para ganhar popularidade e ca�ar votos a qualquer pre�o!
