Heroin addicts committing crimes to support their habits has been a huge problem in Vancouver. The “free heroin for addicts” program is doing everything they can to stop the addicts. The problem is the large crime rate due to addicts. Obviously, addicts have a hard time getting through their day to day lives already. Daily activities such as jobs, interactions, and relationships are hard to maintain because of the fact that they are using. They will do whatever they have to do to get their hands on the drug, given their addiction. The types of crimes committed are those of breaking and entering as well as stealing. The addicts know no limits to where they will go to retrieve this drug so that they can feed their addiction. Using this program serves a problem where addicts won’t lose their addiction at all. Crime rates being lowered will only benefit the city itself. Providing the drug to the addicts will keep them off the streets, which in turn will prevent them from committing minor street crimes. This will also keep the heroin users out of the hospital. Hospitals have to deal with people that want to use bad drugs or unsanitary needles and will find themselves being unable to afford hospital bills and hard to cope without the drug. This program gives people free heroin in the cleanest way possible. Peopl will face addiction while the city prospers.
