What I'm describing is not the "Nordic model". Most Nordic countries do not have the government legally supply heroin to users – only Denmark has an established programme to do so; Norway has it on a trial basis (with only a limited number of users involved); as far as I am aware, the rest of the Nordic countries are still discussing the proposal of doing it. And, even in Denmark, I think you will find the ease of access (you have to find a doctor who is willing and able to prescribe it) is significantly less than in my proposal. My proposal was that the government should try to (near-)completely take over the heroin market, to try to drive criminals out of it altogether – even what Denmark is doing is sufficiently less ambitious.

Since what I am proposing is not the Nordic model as it actually exists, but rather something which goes a lot further, I don't see how overdose death rates from the Nordic countries have any relevance to evaluating it.
