Free Heroin in Canada

Do any people other than legislators think that giving free Heroin to addicts is actually going to help them turn their lives around? I agree with the Vancouver police chief who said that it will decrease crime and prostitution, but I don't agree that the move away from crime for the addicts is the first step to recovery. I think it will just result in the taxpayers shelling out lots of money for very harmful drugs for a bunch of addicts who don't want to get straightened out. The question then becomes : do taxpayers think it is worth it to them to pay to dope up addicts to reduce the crime rate? What do you think? I think the Canucks are crazy.

I think it should be outlawed and anyone who needs to be reformed should be done the good ole fashion way, dry them out, put them on community service and make citizens out of them. should we give crack to other people that say they can't face the day without it? Why should us hard paying taxpayers pay for someone who does to want to reform.
