Heroin addicts committing crimes to support their habits causes huge problems in Vancouver. There is a large crime rate due to the addicts, but the “free heroin for addicts” program is doing everything they can to stop them. Addicts have a hard time getting through their day to day lives. Daily activities such as jobs, interactions, and relationships are hard to maintain due to their use of drugs. Heroin addicts will do whatever they have to do to get their hands on the drug, including breaking and entering as well as stealing. There are no limits to where they will go to retrieve this drug to feed their addiction. The program won’t help to ween these addicts off using heroin, rather it will only save the city from rising crime rates. By providing the drug, these addicts will be off the streets, preventing them from committing minor street crimes, as well as keeping them out of the hospital. It is pointless that the hospitals have to deal with people that want to use bad drugs or unsanitary needles and find themselves being unable to afford hospital bills. This program gives people free heroin in the cleanest way possible. This will fix the city, but not the addiction that these people face.
