Hello Veronica
> Judy: Is ibuprofen gel licensed there yet?
VC> No. But I wouldn't be surprised if they did it. Probably won't though

Yes -- there's no medical reason not to license it. It's a shame they
won't, as it does work well when the inflammation's near the surface
and it can be safer than ibuprofen in pill form.
VC> They have a program in Vancouver for providing clean needles, counseling
VC> and help in beating the addiction if it's wanted. The current mayor of the
VC> city is a former narcotics under cover agent. He has become to the

VC> eventually this view will spread, as even very conservative people realize
VC> that the war on drugs here is lost.
We have programs like that and also methadone prescription. BTW I may
have been wrong about a rise in heroin addiction, what had happened is
that organized drug crime has come to the UK.
