I would like to further applaud the delegates urging cabinet ministers to "consider" measures to pull young addicts off the street for a mandatory detox. Although sustained success would likely require a longer stay in order to allow for healing on all levels. It appears to be that Attorney-General Wally Oppal rather than investigating such treatments that do work, refers to that Constitution of Rights and Freedom Act which inhibits these sometimes necessary actions. John Les outright states "forced treatment doesn't work." John Les appears to be in the dark as to the fact that yes there is and are programs that have a very high success rate. He only needs to look at our neighbours in Alberta to get an education. It appears it is comments such as these that continue to allow our children "The Right To Die."
