Ways and means, dear boy, ways and means. Perhaps they had a quick smoke while taking a dump. There isn't usually an audience for that, even among the building trades.

Well if hes a long term user a quick smoke is not going to cut it, they are going to have to cook up at some point. Like i said i worked in the construction industry in the 90s so i know that if you had a toilet on site you were lucky.

Its pretty easy to spot a smack head whos just had a hit or one who needs a hit and if a smackhead was to be found on site he would be back to robbing lawn mowers in no time.

I know nothing about heroin but I'd contest this. You see examples everyday.....women who go home to men who beat them, men who go home to women who belittle them, people who abuse them selves in various forms of unhappy ways....

People don't use drugs because they make them feel shlt. Quite the contrary. Look up the anecdotal evidence of the effects of heroin use.

Yeah once they reach the peak of their habit they have to take heroin to feel normal, they dont get much fun out of it anymore because like you said the body can only process so much in one day. it doesnt feel good for long.

Why would he need to rob lawnmowers if he could fund his habit? Same as the builder who decides to chuck 8 pints down his neck every night. As log as it's affordable, it isn't a problem. Use in the construction industry was more to do with pain relief than getting monged out of their skulls. But it was rife. Much as cocaine use is in the entertainment industry (among others).

But a moderated habit is manageable. Not everyone who drinks turns in to an alcoholic.

So why reward the ones that do?
