I am gratified that there could be at least some support for the authorities. They are just as anxious as are the average person to do something that works. The real culprits are those who smuggle drugs into our respective societies.
I’m not sure why Canada is giving them heroin instead of Methadone. Had an addict in my close family, and he said the worst part of it was that the tolerance for heroin kept going up, so by the end of it all he was just trying to avoid getting sick and wasn’t getting high hardly at all. He got good results from an impressive local Methadone program and eventually was able to clean up entirely. I’d support free treatment centers with the proviso that the patients would have to stay long term AND COULD NOT LEAVE.
