One of my nieces is a SERIOUS Meth junkie and God knows what else. There is no way that going to a safe get high site would help her, it only enables. JMO but addicts really don't have the guts and wear-with-all to change because IT'S HARD. They medicate because life is hard. They avoid any responsibility etc. Like I said, the Vancouver articles are not the last word and addicts will still act irresponsibly and illegally to get money for drugs to take to the safe sites. It just goes against my common sense, but hey, so does being a drug addict. Their "disease" is 100% curable. I can't feel too sorry for them when I compare that to the victims that lie in a Saint Judes facility. Even my own niece, bless her soul, is just the epitome of irresponsible "blame everyone else for my problems" mentality. I honestly don't think she'll live to be 30 and the GRIEF AND CHAOS she causes to others who love her is unjustified in this great country of opportunity. Some people just aren't strong enough to make it and that's life.
