Heroin addicts committing crimes to support their habits in Vancouver. The “free heroin for addicts” program is doing everything they can to stop 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. Addicts 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 as well as stealing. There are no limits to where they will go to retrieve this drug so that they can feed their addiction. The problem with this program is that it won’t help to ween these addicts off using heroin. It is only trying to save the city from rising crime rates. By providing the drug, addicts will be off the streets, which will prevent them from committing minor street crimes. This will also keep the heroin users out of the hospital. Hospitals have to deal with people that want to use bad drugs or unsanitary needles . Addicts find themselves being unable to afford hospital bills and hard to cope without the drug. This program gives people free heroin in the cleanest way possible. This will in turn fix the city  but not the addiction that these people face.
