Free Heroin...Compliments of the Canadian Government
It's good to be a junkie in Canada.
Nurses and doctors in Vancouver are now authorized to administer free heroin doses to addicts in an attempt to lower the crime rate and the number of people who come down with diseases such as hepatitis B...not to mention the dreaded drug overdose.
First free needles, now free drugs. Will they provide a free funeral too?
Addicts just have to show up three times a day, seven days a week. It sure beats spending that welfare check on dope! Now they can use it for real essentials, like cigarettes and booze.
It's bad enough that the Canadian government is essentially condoning drug use through this freebie program. What's worse is there's no word as to whether any kind of rehab program will be offered to addicts who show up for a fix. According to FOX News, "some [addicts] think it's the government's way of killing them, while others say they can't wait for the free dope. But none of them thought it would eventually get them clean."
Can you imagine the outcry on both sides of the border if Canada offered free cigarettes to people addicted to smoking?
Wrapping up this latest disgrace in the guise of "public safety" really takes the cake. Not only are they prolonging the misery that drug addiction brings to those afflicted by it, they take away any sense of responsibility or culpability from the average person on the street. "I'm addicted...there's nothing I can do. Please ease my pain with a free dose."
Another question is, where are they getting the heroin? Are they manufacturing it themselves or buying it from a "reputable" source?
I can only imagine what's next for the Nanny State next door: perhaps they'll offer free lethal injections for those who want to commit suicide in the name of "public safety"? Stay tuned...
