In Vancouver, Heroin addicts are committing crimes to support their habits. A large crime rate has developed due to the addicts. The “free heroin for addicts” program is doing everything they can to stop the addicts. Addicts have a hard time getting through their day to day lives such as maintaining jobs, interactions, and relationships. Heroin addicts will do whatever they have to do to get their hands on the drug. The most common crimes include breaking and entering as well as stealing. These people hold no limits. The program does not seem like the best option for these people as it won’t help to ween them off heroin. The program saves the city from rising crime rates. By providing the drug, heroin addicts will be off the streets, which in turn will prevent them from committing minor street crimes. Heroin users will also stay out of the hospitals. It is pointless that the hospitals have to deal with people that want to use bad drugs or unsanitary needles. They find themselves being unable to afford hospital bills and hard to cope without the drug. This program provides people with free heroin in the cleanest way possible. This will in turn aid he city, but not the addiction that these people face.
