It is to Weep


$8 Million to give free heroin and heroin substitutes to 190 Vancouver addicts and 66 Montreal addicts.

And then a hefty report of "scientific" conclusions to wade through.

One can only weep.

At $50,000 per year per bed, that money would provide 160 treatment opportunities.

That's 85% of the Vancouver addicts who were helped by doctors and scientists to continue using heroin.

What would prompt a human being to proceed with this kind of hateful, evil plan when helping an addict to live free of drugs is always possible?

That anyone takes this "scientific" experiment seriously is frightening.

Its a living.

What ever happened to Sam (let's create a police state) Sullivan's plan to give prescription drugs to addicts? Of course, if most of them were given anti-depressants (which have suicide as a side effect) that would solve the problem, wouldn't it?

Does Insite give free heroin???
They claim otherwise!

Yet you keep repeating that mantra.
What's the truth, David?

I have never once in my life claimed that Insite gives free heroin, because that is not the case.

In the posting above I was speaking clearly about NAOMI which gives free heroin.
