APPEASING ADDICTS HASTENS SOCIAL DECAY

I did not find Frances Bula's so-called balanced article about Insite
very informative. It had the same tired arguments applauding the
success of keeping criminal addicts alive so that they can continue to
steal and inject poison into their arms.

Every addict knows there can never be enough drugs or supervised
injection sites to appease the addiction. Evidence of this is all
around us as Vancouver's social decay continues uninterrupted. If this
is called success (after four years), I shudder to think what failure
would have looked like.
