Heroin addicts are the stem of a substantial issue in Vancouver, as they are committing crimes in order to support their habits. The “free heroin for addicts” program is doing everything they can to stop the addicts. Daily activities such as jobs, interactions, and relationships are hard to maintain because they are using. By heroin users being addicted, 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 as well as stealing. The program is only trying to save the city from rising crime rates that they’re up to. By providing the drug, these addicts will be off the streets, which in turn will prevent them from committing minor street crimes. This will also keep the heroin users out of the hospital. Hospitals shouldn’t have to deal with people that want to use bad drugs or unsanitary needles and 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.
