Vancouver is having huge problems with heroin addicts committing crimes to support their habits. The people involved with the “free heroin for addicts” program are doing everything they can to stop the addicts. The problem is that the crime rate has skyrocketed due to the addicts’ behavior. The addicts obviously have a hard time getting through their day to day lives. Daily activities such as jobs, interactions, and relationships become to difficult to maintain while leading their current lifestyles. Heroin addicts are characteristically desperate and will do whatever they must to get their hands on the drug including committing crimes such as breaking and entering as well as stealing. Such severe desperation will drive them to great lengths to feed their addiction. This program is making great strides towards lowering the crime rate related to heroin use but isn’t doing much to actually get addicts off drugs. By providing the drug, these addicts will be off the streets, which in turn will prevent them from committing minor street crimes. Such a strategy will also keep the heroin users out of the cycle of entering a hospital for withdrawal or overdose symptoms and then not being able to pay the bill. This program gives people free heroin in the cleanest way possible, which will in turn fix the city but not the addiction that these people face.
