Heroin addicts in Vancouver commit crimes such as breaking, entering, and stealing and do whatever they can to get their hands on the drug. The program offers free “legal” heroin so that these addicts commit less crimes. This will also keep more heroin users out of the hospital by reducing the encountering of people who want to use bad drugs, unsanitary needles, or people who can’t afford hospital bills. This program can lower crime rates of these addicts, however, it will not fix their heroin addiction.
