FEEDING HABITS IS NOT A CURE

I strongly object to taxpayers’ money being used to feed drug addicts
with heroin.

Why should the Government feed these people their habIt at the expense
of money going to hospitals, nursing homes and schools, where it is
desperately needed?

Everyone knows heroin is addictive, so, if someone decides to take it,
they should take responsibility for their decisions.

Shooting galleries will not solve the drug problem. There are drug
rehabilitation centres such as Odyssey House for people who genuinely
want to kick the habit.
