Heroin Addiction and Related Clinical Problems: 1999, 01, 2 (pages: 15 - 18)

What tells us Switzerlands drug policy. Switzerland: drug policy of mountain dwellers?

Seidenberg A.

Summary: Switzerland's drug problems became notorious, when 'needlepark' Platspitz and heroin trials made international headlines. Its mass of drug addicts and the dilemma they caused shook Swiss society. An overwhelming majority of the Swiss voted to make it legal to treat drug addicts with heroin. Drugs have threatened the independence and the liberal foundations of the Swiss federation. Drug problems still threaten all that.
