HEROIN HANDOUTS SICKENING

Regarding the latest Operation Phoenix article: the notion of the 
province providing free heroin to junkies is unbelievable.

Why should the government use my tax dollar to enable junkies because 
they are "severely addicted"? Where is the rationale in this? I am 
"severely addicted" to doing Ironman triathlons, which costs me a 
dear penny each year. I think the government should start paying for 
my choices. I need to sign off now in order to vomit.
