GIVING DRUGS TO ADDICTS IS A CHEAP FIX

So far, none of the discussions about giving free drugs to addicts
have included requiring a work component (transitional with support
services). This would give addicts a marvellous opportunity to
eventually have a productive life and, therefore, possibly get off drugs.

A crucial part of any treatment program should include the addict
taking some responsibility such as working, even part-time at a low
stress job, and then moving on to full-time employment. Also, this
would give taxpayers a reason to support such a program.
