The city spent $32,000 on 70,000 fliers that tell you how to shoot heroin, complete with detailed tips on prepping the dope and injecting it into your arm. The Health Department handout has outraged New York's top drug prosecutors and abuse experts. "It's basically step-by- step instruction on how to inject a poison," said John Gilbride, who heads the Drug Enforcement Administration's New York office. "It's sick," said City Council member Peter Vallone Jr. (D-Queens) "Foolish," said Columbia University drug researcher and treatment expert Dr. Herbert Kleber. The 16-page pamphlet features seven comics-like illustrations and offers dope fiends such useful advice as "Warm your body (jump up and down) to show your veins," and "Find the vein before you try to inject." It even encourages addicts to keep jabbing if their needles miss the mark.
