Well yes they can function sort of, and I would say they are "unzombified" for about half their waking hours, about 6 or 8 hours a day or so. The rest, if they have a daily addiction which is common, is a fix, a few hours of euphoria, and about 4 hours of nodding off to the effects, and then you wake up and your entire thought process is on getting your next fix.
The injection clinics in Europe (Switzerland/Holland) are more or less short term fixes to correct the medical (AIDS, impure heroin, etc) and criminal aspects of heroin without facing the long term problem. It accomplished it's short term goals but it did nothing to reduce the addicition problems or the long term medical issues of addiction, and Heroin addiction is much much more prevalent in Europe than the U.S..
Hard to say what SF is trying to accomplish if they want a "bring your own and inject here" program. Doesn't make sense at all.
Does anyone know about the question with cops here? Do they just stand outside the clinic and arrest people as they walk in? Or is that entrapment? If they don't arrest people as they walk in, then is this a safe haven for addicts from the law as well? Isn't that kind of a step in the direction of legalizing these hard drugs? If anyone knows please respond. Sorry if this was posted already.
