GIVE INJECTION SITES A CHANCE TO SUCCEED

Safe-injection sites reduce the need for heroin addicts to commit 
crimes in order to feed their habit. They also allow health 
professionals to keep tabs on people in danger in the addicted 
community who would otherwise have nobody looking out for their safety.

The efforts of Vancouver's safe injection site are blown out of 
proportion -- it is just one small effort that might grow into a 
success if the self-righteous morality police would just give it room 
to breathe. Please!

Peter Brouwer,

Duncan.
