THE ONLY WAY TO DEAL WITH DRUG ADDICTS
I was a police officer for 27 years, during which I spent time on the Vancouver
drug squad and on the beat in the Downtown Eastside.
I arrested drug users for various crimes, which had been committed to feed very
expensive habits.
I watched well-meaning citizens' groups offer help to these individuals to
"kick the habit" voluntarily, which for the most part was useless.
