They said some exchanges are making "no attempt or effort" to prevent dirty needles being dumped in public places.

You'd think the Greens would be against the needle exchange program. At least the addicts were recycling the needles before.

So people who abuse their bodies also abuse the environment. Whodathunkit?

This whole scheme is predicated on the false notion that the only reason junkies use dirty needles is they can't obtain clean ones and that junkies actually care enough about themselves and others to make sure no one else uses their needles.

Junkies don't care...they just don't care.

If the program is failing, it's because they're not giving away enough needles. They should give the heroin away, too, to make sure that addicts don't harm themselves with low-quality drugs. Of course, they'll also need clean, comfortable dwellings to indulge their habits, not to mention a nutritious diet. Addicts are often malnourished. Can't have that. They must be given condoms as well, and probably a small stipend to cover sundries. Who'll pay for all this? Don't ask stupid questions.

Whoa! You mean an upright, conscientious dope addict is failing to recognize his social responsiblities??? You mean a well-meaning liberal idea is miscarrying because it was based on an idealism that exists nowhere in the real world?? You mean that inept attempts at social engineering are endangering the righteous members of society while exalting the lowest elements and facilitating their downward spiral???

What IS the world coming to ...
