Addicts Get Free Heroin - GoFuckYourself.com

That's all we need now is a mass influx of fucking junkies in my town

Vancouver's sizeable community of heroin addicts is being asked to sign up for free heroin in an attempt to reduce crime and the spread of disease.

Jim Boothroyd, spokesman for the North American Opiate Medications Initiative, said only those who have been addicted for five years and who have already tried to break the habit will be eligible.

"They're people who have tried at least twice to quit using methadone," said Boothroyd. "Only a small fraction of the people who apply will be eligible."

Based on successful programs in Europe and Australia, the $8.1-million NAOMI project aims to sign up 470 long-term addicts in Vancouver, Montreal and Toronto out of Canada's estimated 60,000 to 90,000 heroin addicts.

A considerable number of Vancouver's break-ins, thefts from cars and fencing of stolen property are attributed to drug users.

Heroin addicts commonly have to come up with $200 a day or more for their habit.

Additionally, serious communicable diseases such as AIDS and hepatitis-C are often spread by addicts sharing needles.

Dr. Martin Schechter, an HIV/AIDS scientist at the University of B.C., said it would be unethical not to try to treat heroin addicts who have tried other methods and failed to kick the habit.

The free drugs are scheduled to be available by mid-March.

Read the article, it's going to be regulated. It's not like a walk-in clinic, where as Joe NoNothing out of Toledo is embraced with a warm welcome, handshake from the mayor, and two syringes of heroin.

Once the word gets out all the junkies will be moving here and getting wacked on smack paid for by the taxpayers...Our government must be high on this shit

You guys seem(well, maybe not you, you sound like a smart guy) to want a secluar-"anything goes"-society, non-judgemental and very "open", and this is what you get in Canada. What you say? Frank and Tom want to get married! Sure! anything goes! What? Frank Katherine and Leeroy want to form a marriage? Sure! Anything goes...FREE HEROIN for everyone!!! YEAH!....God I would never raise my children up there, ya I'd live there now when I'm single and perverted, but my god.

I guess all I'm saying is God Bless the USA, as shitty as it may be, at least we don't encourage heroin use. (please note im not dissing you or your country, just some random thoughts)

Regulated like the walk in shooting galleries...Anybody can walk in and either shoot up or smoke crack...the downtown eastside is rampant with these junkies.
They should give them pure horse and kill the lot of them degenerates

Trouble is there is just a small section of Vancouver (skid row) but people perceive the whole city like that.I don't mind the homos getting married...it's their life but allowing free drugs is only going to make the problem worse and not better..

Man, sounds shitty.. Your city kind of reminds me of some places here, for example, San Francisco has some really moronic social programs on various drug addictions, but that whole city is whacko. I can understand the city not giving a fizzuck about marijuana and things like that(Vancouver gets props for that,lol) but I mean heroin? It just ruins peoples lives, I'd be ashamed of my leaders who allowed such a thing. (of course, I should probably expect the same damn thing soon in my country! )

Your ignorance is astounding, but let's ignore your intellectual incapabilites.

Who cares if junkies are smoking crack or shooting up in a regulated facility? Sure, drug abuse is unfortunate, and it should not been anywhere, but this is the real world & the abuse of substances is here to stay. It's up to you to choose that enviornment. If you want it done in your own backyards (literally), aside your children's bus stop, on that park bench, so be it. But perhaps you can swallow your pride and the moral highground you stand upon, and realize a sedated junkie in the confines of professionals is much safer than those same zombies walking the streets free, shooting up wherever convenient.

Your government is not promoting it's use, contrary to what you think.They just know it's unavoidable, and trying to accomodate the dreadful/bad, with a little safety.

Yea your right..It's only a few million,Let all the fucking junkies get stoned on our hard earned taxpayers money while people die waiting for surgerys or turned away because there isn't any room in the emergency.
This has nothing to due with my lack of intellectual incapabilites.Maybe if you actually lived here you wouldn't be so quick to pass judgement

Thank you for your careless, thoughtless, input, Hippie( im taking a cheap shot because of the John Lennon pic, sorry, I had to).
Unfortunately, most of us live in the real world, where we have to work for a living, be productive individuals. And I'm sure my friends up north don't appreciate their government giving away freebie-Heroin, you know why ? BECAUSE THEY ARE PAYING FOR IT! You think that money comes out of the John Lennon Free Heroin fund you twit? It comes out of hardworking Canadians pockets that's where. The Canadian government has now become so "compassionate" , so "open", that ANYTHING goes nowadays. We'll see how far they take it before the people have had enough.

BTW, you're in Florida? You must be miserable living in this country, because I'll already assume you claim you and I live in a "police state", something about illegal wars, George Bush being stupid, evil corporations, Enron, Halliburton, (yawn, sorry im getting bored).....So, why don't you move up north if you're so in love with free Heroin?

What say you,hippie?

sonofsam · 02-09-2005, 10:17 PM

Doctor Dre · 02-09-2005, 10:25 PM

I think it's a pretty good idea ... I think they had a similar idea in sweden and it reduced the crime / infection rate a lot .

Real World? Hippie? Your arguement is as assinine as the assumptions you predicate. You assume to know me because of the music I listen too? By the same thinking, I'm an outlaw living the thug-life, whose all about money - Because I listen to 2pac (as well). Quite the contradicion, no? It is, because not only are you pretentious, but oblivious/unaware of your own surroundings. Am I too assume something about your life, your worth as an 'individual', with a trumped up misconception/generalization based upon your taste for let's say, mystery novels? For prison movies? Taste is taste, preferences are preferences. Stop classifying music, it's entirely too close minded. It needs not be categorized by particular people, it just needs to be heard.

Additionally I see someone making reference to this 'Real world'? As opposed to my sugar plum world? Coming from what, a self righteous/indulgent simian who resides in in Houston? Oh, those refined human specimens, livng the "real world". I'm from NJ, NY, and FL. I'm from the quote on quote from the "hood" . No strawberry fields, or anti-war campaigns. I've also seen heroin, shot up first hand, as a child. This isn't some pity me, afternoon special post. This is a me, "shut the fuck up, you sheltered pricks" post. Have some compassin. If I dealt with it in my own home, with relatives and family. Dont dare claim you've some overbearring merit/claim to the "real world" because three blocks down the street you seen crackhead three weeks ago. Fuck that.

At the volume of tax payers, in addition to the expected 500-users limit, I assure you - this won't damage your pockets in the least. If it does? I pity you for not being even close too successful.
