Heroin is deadly & anyone selling it should be arrested. Marijuana is a different drug entirely & should be sold to anyone who wants it.

It's funny, when you hear people complain about these so-called leeches, you can almost hear the bit of intellectual honesty trying desperately to voice itself, which says: "I have enough education and self-awareness to know that I'm a leech, too, but this guy sucks at being a leech. I'm great at it. So F*** him/her for being a loser." Of course it comes out like "I work hard and worked my way up the latter and he should too and blah blah blah," but you know the smarter ones say the former, at least on the inside.

I'd feel the same way working for legal drug pushers (since let's face it, the grand secret - well, except maybe to Rush Limbaugh anyway) is that prescription opiate drug abuse is even worse than what the average corner addict shoots up (IMHO) mainly because it's very insidious indeed. This is especially true if you've got sufficient cash to see doctors who will prescribe even more of this crap. It's much easier to hide.
I have a different conscience, but I'll do ya one better on the pharma vs street drug differentiation scale: A few of these pills literally are pure, uncut version of street drugs, such as speed(adderal), and so on.

Would you do it? Please only respond if you feel like explaining and defending your choice. It's the debate section, after all.
I would never knowingly break any law. Besides, people get addicted to that stuff and it ruins their lives forever. If I cannot make an honest living, I would rather live in a sewer somewhere.

FWIW - Heroin (Hero + in) aka Morphine acetate was developed by the Bayer Company in the 1890’s as a pain killer for the wounded soldiers that could not completely recover. It is still an amazingly effective analgesic to chronic pain and should be used for relief of that type of pain.

Unfortunate it became "drug du jure" for the upper classes where the previously unimportant addictive effect (if your wounds are going to require pain suppression for the rest of your life so what if the drug is addictive) started destroying the lives of the important people. It was made illegal and the criminals spread the consumption as far as they could. As I said before, heroin and the other drugs should be legal, regulated, cheap and taxed.
