Any policy that facilitates the use of drugs is counterproductive. For example, if it facilitates the use of heroin, AIDS can spread, because there would be more addicts using more syringes.
The main reason for intravenous drug use and the spread of AIDS and other infectious diseases among these users are the direct and exclusive result of the ban. Constant Rising of opiates and adulteration increasingly favored by the black market forced the illegality involved, were responsible for a change of attitude among consumers of these drugs, which went from snorting or smoke, to inject. This managed to increase the effect of a substance expensive and scarce. At the same time, the marginal conditions conducive to the ban, and restrictions on the purchase and possession of sterile syringes created a culture in which the exchange and sharing of syringes went on to become a ritual, spreading to edges of the AIDS tragedy and other infections. In a situation of legality, rarely opiate users would use intravenous mode of administration, and, in doing so should not have to hide and would have the proper hygienic material. In this regard, administration of the substance does not differ from that of diabetic must inject insulin.
