Heroin addicts are committing crimes to support their habits in Vancouver. The “free heroin for addicts” program is doing everything they can to stop the addicts. The problem is a large crime rate due to the addicts. Addicts have a hard time getting through their day to day lives. Jobs, interactions, and relationships are hard to maintain because they are using. They will do whatever they have to do to get their hands on the drug. The types of crimes committed are those of breaking and entering and stealing. Where they will go to retrieve this drug so that they can feed their addiction has no limitation. The program won’t help to ween these addicts off using heroin. It is only trying to save the city from rising crime rates. Providing the drug will prevent drug addicts from committing minor street crimes. This will also keep the heroin users out of the hospital. Hospitals having to deal with people that want to use bad drugs or unsanitary needles is pointless. Often they 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 it will not fix the addiction that these people face.
