They give free needles out so addicts don't use dirty needles, protect them from themselves. The needles are then strewn everywhere, putting the entire population at risk. Why is 99% of the population being risked over people who don't care about what they do to themselves, never mind others? SHUT DOWN NEEDLE HANDOUTS

I believe that the needle exchange program was instituted to curtail the rapid spread of HIV related diseases. The "EXCHANGE" program should be reinstituted.

i don't know how many folks have seen someone shoot up. but from what i've seen, after they inject, they are in absolutely no condition to take there needle and put it in a sharpies box afterwards.
Beaches Especially Strathcona. very family oriented, with a ton of young children, should be a 100% no injection sites. Zero tolerance. You get caught you spend 24 hours in the slammer going through withdrawls. plenty of other spots for them to do there business that we so seemingly appear to indorse.

Lets start to play DARTS with these ppl they dont care so why should we Do gooders you will be bit by what you have done.

[WheelWeaves]

Pretty much hit the nail on the head, after someones shot up, they are in no condition to do anything except be a drain on society, and put others at risk. What little sympathy I have for these people dries up more often than not.

Seems to be a reasonable approach to what has become a serious problem....

If a fine for suckin down a cold beer at the beach is 230 bucks, whats the punishment for littering a potentially disease infected syringe? Oh I forgot its a free pass because the government coddles these parasites.

Usually a person drinking a beer in public is capable of scratching up $230.
If a addict comes up with $230 , they get more drugs NOW.
Then what?? more fines unpaid, court costs, jail, etc.?? Lol
They come out, they take more drugs and on and on it goes.

What's a that crap cost, add it all up and there's got to be a better way.

[the truth]

honestly build a giant jail/rehab centre in the middle of nowhere , keep the chronic offenders in for life and give the junkies rehab, and let them out only if and when the medical professionals
think they are ready to be let out

to expect bad people not to do wrong is madness
