    Richard Chenery rests after injecting heroin he bought on the street at the Insite safe injection clinic. Insite, North America's first and only legal injection site, promoted by its founders as a safe, humane facility for drug abusers, is now facing a court challenge from the Conservative government that sees it as a facilitator of drug abuse. The case opens before the Supreme Court of Canada in Ottawa on Thursday, May 12, 2011 and has drawn international attention.

    Black Crack - The Scourge Of Tehran
    BLACK CRACK - THE SCOURGE OF TEHRAN

    Far from the eyes of the Western press and its views on Iranian politics and religious ideologies, lie the forgotten, the unwanted and the wretched - the hordes of Tehran's drug addicts.

    While our general belief of Iran being a strict Muslim state may be more or less correct, many of us may not realise that it has a very liberal and enlightened approach to tackling its people's drug problems.

    However, maybe this is more out of necessity than choice: Iran has the largest heroin problem in the entire world and a ballooning rate of Aids cases on the back of it.

    Exacerbating this problem is the nature of the drug that most of these scores of thousands of addicts are hooked on: compressed, crystallised heroin - aka black crack.

    Most people associate the slang word 'crack' with cocaine, but in fact it simply refers to the crystal form of a drug and the noise made when heated.

    In this case 'black crack' is something of a misnomer, as it is in fact white heroin, compressed and considerably purer, stronger and hence even more dangerous than brown heroin.

    Its manufacture process entails heroin being added to water which is boiled, then distilled to purify the drug by passing it through a pipe to lose its heat. The end product, with a little help from sodium bicarbonate and other various pills and chemicals, should be the crystal, or 'crack', form of the drug.

    Obviously the purity of the crack depends on the purity of the heroin used, a grade that can often be judged by the colour of the original heroin - usually somewhere between a cream and white colour, the darker the heroin, the more impurities it has.

    Such is the strength and resultant danger o...

    BLACK CRACK - THE SCOURGE OF TEHRAN

    Far from the eyes of the Western press and its views on Iranian politics and religious ideologies, lie the forgotten, the unwanted and the wretched - the hordes of Tehran's drug addicts.

    While our general belief of Iran being a strict Muslim state may be more or less correct, many of us may not realise that it has a very liberal and enlightened approach to tackling its people's drug problems.

    However, maybe this is more out of necessity than choice: Iran has the largest heroin problem in the entire world and a ballooning rate of Aids cases on the back of it.

    Exacerbating this problem is the nature of the drug that most of these scores of thousands of addicts are hooked on: compressed, crystallised heroin - aka black crack.

    Most people associate the slang word 'crack' with cocaine, but in fact it simply refers to the crystal form of a drug and the noise made when heated.

    In this case 'black crack' is something of a misnomer, as it is in fact white heroin, compressed and considerably purer, stronger and hence even more dangerous than brown heroin.

    Its manufacture process entails heroin being added to water which is boiled, then distilled to purify the drug by passing it through a pipe to lose its heat. The end product, with a little help from sodium bicarbonate and other various pills and chemicals, should be the crystal, or 'crack', form of the drug.

    Obviously the purity of the crack depends on the purity of the heroin used, a grade that can often be judged by the colour of the original heroin - usually somewhere between a cream and white colour, the darker the heroin, the more impurities it has.

    Such is the strength and resultant dan...
