It took me 15 seconds to find the report that details what welfare is saying. Less time than it took for you to type your completely useless post. Though this report doesn't delve in to the mental health issue it's common knowledge that abuse of opiods damages the brain.


See the above report. The first safe injections sites in Vancouver opened in 2000, and public policy has continued to coddle the weak in the years since. The result? The pandemic BC has now. In 2017 the DTES Insite location recorded 175,464 visits (an average of 415 injection room visits per day) by 7,301 unique users; 2,151 overdoses occurred with no fatalities due to intervention by medical staff. 1,458 people still died in 2017, how many of those were saved by the staff but died later anyway is unknown.

Before people start defending the numbers due to the introduction of fentanyl know this: the users like it. If someone OD's that person's dealer actually gets more junkies vying to buy from them because they know the dealer is selling powerful stuff. BC's handling of opioid drug addicts has COMPLETELY failed, and instead created a monster that has spiraled out of control.
Just to clarify: You are against Insite?
