INJECTION SITES NO SOLUTION

As a recovering addict, I do not agree with the safe-injection
site.

In order for addicts to stop using drugs, they need to hit a bottom.
They will not do that if they are enabled to use illegal drugs.
Legally, that's an oxymoron.

Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan should be lobbying for more funding for
detox beds and treatment/recovery centres.

My life was saved by treatment facilities. If I had been given a safe
place to use, I might still be out there.

Maybe if the government hadn't eliminated Riverview Hospital we
wouldn't have so many people with mental-health issues roaming the
street trying to self-medicate.

Mayor Sullivan, look at how many detox beds are available for youth
and then put your lobbying to some good use.
