Heroin addicts committing crimes to support their habits is a huge problem in Vancouver. The “free heroin for addicts” program is doing everything they can to stop addiction. The high crime rate in Vancouver is due to the addicts. Addicts have a hard time getting through their lives. Daily activities such as jobs, interactions, and relationships are hard to maintain due to their addiction. These people will do whatever is necessary to feed their addiction. The type of crimes they commit range from breaking and entering to theft. Nothing is off limits for heroin users when it comes to feeding their addictions. The program will fail because it fails to deal with the root cause of the cities problems, addiction. It only tries to address the rising crime rates. By providing drug users heroin you will only lower the crime rate and clear the hospitals up from drug users. This program will fix the city but not the addiction heroin users face.
