Why can doctors be allowed to profit from drug labs? Safe-injection sites do not legalize the drug but give an addict who is out of control a chance to recover if they accept treatment. We need to help and not let them try to treat themselves on the street where they are victims of profiting drug lords. Stepped-up action to remove drugs from the street and to educate the young before they are victims is also a priority. Giving young people a chance to grow up drug free is our responsibility. Most people can't do it on their own. Recovering one productive person makes it not a failure but a success. Farren Billey Cranbrook - --- MAP posted-by: Richard R Smith Jr.
