When I was in Vancouver 15 years ago, I was certain they had heroin clinics then.

They had clean injection sites, not heroin clinics

Oh, I forgot it was BYO.

Vancouver is a Canadian city, n.ot a "North American" city

not

@4 true, and many move on to heroin...

@6 methadone & suboxone are mostly for people who want to stop using heroin, etc. This is more for people who want to keep using and are not interested in quitting for whatever reason. Also, not everyone who uses heavy opiates is incapacitated, for some it has an energizing effect.

I recall a similar program in England a long while back that worked pretty well, after not blowing all their money on illegal smack and using clean, many decided that they no longer wanted to use and enrolled themselves into cessation programs.

@Sarah91 North America is a CONTINENT, of which Canada is a part. Drugs arent this country's problem, that would be ignorance.

@7: What continent do you think Canada is part of, if not North America?
