'They deserve it' is all I'm gonna say.

[MissTwisties]

On the tax payers dime eh?? Why are they not letting them rob and kill each other for their stupid dope? I don't give a damn about that kind of people. Now it's gonna be paradise for those junkies!!

[odduc]

All in favor of government health care system, take note. This is exactly the kind of shit you can expect if a "universal" health care system is adopted by the USA. The junkies will have their free drugs, but if you need to see a specailist for a grave illness, you'll be dead before the bureaucratic machine even sees your case.

'nuff said for me, too!

Hey it's not like what we do (kill, imprison, etc..) works either...

It is probably cheaper to give them the stupid drugs than it is to have half the army/coast guard/police whatever worked up trying to stop them.

[MissTwisties]

That's exactly what pisses me off!! They say those junkies will be able to go 3 TIMES A DAY/7 days a week to get their FIX?? Both my grand-mothers got really sick, hospitalized for months, before they finally died, and it always took them weeks/months to get to see a specialist, or to get tests done and then weeks before getting results of those tests back. I wonder if the tax payers over in Canada are happy about this? Couldn't they do anything about it???

I would be surprised if this type of thing only increased usage. Regardless, if we have to spend money on something I would rather it be locking them up or killing them instead of giving them free highs. And if it's more expensive, so be it.

We'll be in Montreal in June for F1.

Hopefully, we can score some free smack while we are there, too!

Yah I certainly don't really think Canada has found a good solution.

But nothing works, and they said this was an $8 million program. We spend thousands of times that much on our drug programs in this country and they don't work either.

I am sure you don't want to hear it but it is just a matter of degrees, how long before we try and take away your cigarrettes and alcohol? It will be just as hard/stupid but I'm finding it hard to believe there aren't people out there who want to try it.

the thinking on this is the goverment will get a handle on who's useing, be in contact with these people all the time. know there wereabouts and try to convince them to get help. I.D. the enemy and destroy. might work. vancouvers a very nice city. its also very liberal.

Yah you would hope this is some kind of program where these people have already been through rehab and are continual problems...

Not like they are giving out free heroin to anyone at the drugstore..

This drug sounds sooooo bad it is amazing people get hooked on it.

i used to think that too. who would stick needles in there arm just to get off knowing it could kill them. but on the other hand who would fly down rt 9 at 150mph on some two wheeled thingy....

The way I always explain motorcycling to someone who doesn't understand the risk and drinks a lot or does drugs is this...

Shooting up drugs is cumulative damage to your body.. it doesn't kill you the first time you do it but every time you do a certain amount of damage to your body and there is no way to get around that.

Each time you do 150mph down Rt. 9 you subject yourself to a certain risk of injury... but every successful ride without a crash causes you absolutely no harm. If you're careful, you won't hurt yourself.

quote: While these countries experiment with more sensible and humane approaches to drug policy, the United States clings to a war not only against drug dealers, but also against drug users. Most scientific researchers studying drug abuse acknowledge that the Swiss experiment makes sense socially, economically, and morally. The point of these innovations i isn't to coddle drug users. It's to reduce the human and economic costs of drug use--costs paid not only by users but also by non-users through increased health, justice, and law-enforcement expenditures.
