SHOW US THE SUCCESS STORIES FROM INSITE

A recent article about the Insite supervised injection site said that
it was instrumental in the prevention of death from drug overdoses.
How many of those survivors have now sworn off drugs?

It is disgusting to consider that the best our society can do, with
all our education and creativity, is to tell addicts that we might be
able to save them before they die. If they do decide to quit, all we
can do is apologize for spending all our money on Insite where we
could watch them get high, so there is not enough money left to build
rehabilitation facilities.

My child will one day learn of the world she lives in. I have no
excuse for her either.
