EXPLAIN, PLEASE

Can your editorial writer explain to your readers, including me, how 
a program that gets 30 per cent more attendees into addictions 
treatment than its alternatives can possibly be characterized as 
"keeping people on drugs"?

And how closing such a gateway will help get them get off?

Just asking.

Dr. Perry Kendall,

Provincial Health Officer
