WHO FUNDS ADDICTION?
THE question of how addicts fund their habit needs to be addressed by
those who favor injecting rooms.
As the mother of an addict I want compulsory detox and rehabilitation,
not a facility that sanctions the continued use or heroin.
My heart goes out to other parents of addicts but the question
remains; if you are in favor of your child being provided with a
facility to use drugs, will you pay for those drugs?
Or should society continue to suffer the horrific consequences of the
crimes committed by addicts to fund their habit?
Someone has to pay for the drugs, but not the mug taxpayer. Let it be
the people who want the injection rooms.
