UK - Cocaine and heroin addicts on a Government treatment programme are being given extra drugs as a reward for good behaviour, it is reported.

The NTA admitted the practice was unethical and said it wanted to see certain practices "squeezed out of the system". Full Story - Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Collectors' Choice Music
