Amsterdam - A Dutch clergyman who had been selling cut-price heroin to long-term drug-users was forced to stop his scheme just days after its controversial introduction, the local news agency ANP reported.
The Rev Hans Visser, who had appeared before Rotterdam's public prosecutor earlier this week to explain his behaviour, said he would obey the law and stop supplying heroin. Mr Visser had said he was trying to raise awareness that something needed to be done to help addicts who were in poor health and had no hope of kicking their habit.
