Our policies on tobacco use have worked by making it more and more difficult for people to smoke. At this point, only the most clueless and most recalcitrant continue to use tobacco. In the case of illegal drugs, the prohibitions are already at the point where the desire to use the drugs must outweigh utterly draconian penalties (legal, economic, social, and otherwise.) What you're proposing would loosen off those penalties. We could possibly get more people off drugs by offering them an easier way out, but I'd suggest that there are a lot of the reason that a drug addict becomes a drug addict is because of the person.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1400574.post-43187071209737808632007-03-26T09:47:00.000-07:002007-03-26T09:47:00.000-07:00Our New canadian Government is doing their hardest...Our New canadian Government is doing their hardest to screw up the safe injection site.
