I was thinking of a fire extinguisher analogy while reading the article. No one that owns a fire extinguisher acts in any more of a dangerous manner just because they own an extinguisher.

Heroin addicts are not regular people with a fire extinguisher in the hall.

I disagree. Please see my other long comment, My buddy that was a heroin addict was more regular and more successful than almost anyone I know.

I'm not saying heroin addicts are bad people, just that they don't always weigh their options logically. And having a safety net for overdoing it isn't a bonus.
