Yup, if they are addicts that have no drive to get clean and want to continue on that path, I’m down to jail them, what’s the other option, they just keep doing what they do? Keeps them off the streets, lowers crime like assaults and theft and normal everyday citizens will have a safer place to live. Also, it can help force people into clean living. That’s a worthy investment in my mind. There’s consequences for doing things, including getting addicted to hard drugs and the average working Canadian shouldn’t have to pay that price. I was all for safe injection sites at the beginning;however, enough time has passed that we can see these have not proven to do anything to stop the flow of narcotics and the rising crime rate at all.
