BERN, Switzerland - A pioneering Swiss program to give addicts government-authorized heroin was overwhelmingly approved Sunday, according to projections that showed voters simultaneously rejecting the decriminalization of marijuana.
Projections based on initial voting results indicated that 69 percent of voters approved making the heroin program permanent. It has been credited with reducing crime and improving the health and daily lives of addicts since it began 14 years ago.
