I recall that a few years ago some Mayor up in WA state was giving the homeless a bus ticket to Portland to "get them out" of his city.

However, i have a feeling that this is going to create problems in this situation. Heroin is bad. One use and you can become addicted and it is extremely hard to quit. IMO it should remain illegal
