On a relate dnote, if I don't get a paying enough job, and there's no more disability pension - there's painless ways of suicide, if my family doesn't take care of me. Though I'm pretty sure they will - after my parents die either my brother or my cousins.
A lot of times heroin addiction starts from medically prescribed opiate pain killers.....for instance person gets injured, is prescribed opiates, gets addicted, prescription runs out/they can't get more, well they may be able to find heroin on the streets or buy pills if they find a source to illegally acquire them.
Also depending on where you live Marijuana is considered a medical drug...also its not potentially deadly like opiates, not to say there is no use for opiates but they are obviously dangerous.

We have it pretty good here, especially in Alberta. I mean, I like BC's weather and scenery more, but Alberta has the best healthcare system of all the provinces, and probably the best social programs overall. We're the richest province in Canada, and it's often been said that we could make it on our own, but then we'd be landlocked, and really, the rest of Canada depends on us.

The way I see it, addiction is a disease, and the drug use that leads to addiction is a symptom of other problems, whether they be mental health issues, socioeconomic factors, etc. The war on drugs is doing nothing but putting otherwise innocent people in jail, and putting money in the pockets of drug lords and gangsters. I say legalize ALL drugs, so addicts can get the help they need without legal persecution, and the cartels start going out of business.

Essentially, though sometimes our politicians like to forget that, like when premier Alison Redford decided to blow all of that money on private jets.

I'd love to live in Alberta, would they let me move there, if they knew I had autism and may need the disability support?

Possibly. What you would have to do is sign up for AiSH, and provide proof of your disability. I signed up after being assessed by a neuropsychologist, and having it recommended to me. If you want, PM me and we can talk about the process.

F*** NO!! !! Every time the Government tends to 'help' they wind up really f***ing things up. Every time the Government gets bigger and more intricate, the more unwieldy and problematic it becomes, and this only mires once free people in regulations, inconcgruent policies and red tape. --I need Government help and case management like I need a hole in my head.
To draw a quick comparison of this, look at all of the 'help' the US Government gav the Native Americans, and how Native American tribes have gone from being sovereign nations to groups of people killing themselves off thanks to the welfare subsistance handouts given to them. --I will NOT subject myself to this type of 'help'.
