Vancouver is dealing with heroin addicts committing crimes to support their habits. The “free heroin for addicts” program is doing everything they can to stop the addicts, but there is a large crime rate. It is obvious that addicts have a hard time getting through their day to day lives and participating in jobs, interactions, and relationships are hard to maintain. Heroin addicts will do whatever they have to do to get their hands on the drug like breaking and entering, as well as stealing. There are no limits to where addicts will go to retrieve this drug. The problem with this program is that it won’t help to ween these addicts off using heroin, the program only tries to save the city from rising crime rates. Providing the drug will get these addicts off the streets, which will prevent them from committing minor street crimes and will keep them out of the hospital. Hospitals should not have to deal with people that want to use bad drugs or unsanitary needles and find themselves being unable to afford hospital bills and hard to cope without the drug. The “free heroin for addicts” program gives people free heroin in the cleanest way possible, which will in turn fix the city, but not the addiction that these people face.
