Jamieson Page: A11 MORE IMPORTANT PRIORITIES THAN FREE HEROIN Re: "Is free heroin the best route?" editorial, Feb. 7. Most certainly. After free needles are provided to citizens with diabetes, everyone gets free legal drugs that are prescribed by physicians, B.C. parks are properly funded, citizens on disability get drugs free, the E&N is fully funded so passenger trains again run, a Malahat bypass is built, highways are properly maintained, ferries are free for everyone who lives on Vancouver Island, etc. Until then, no free heroin should even be considered. People need to be responsible for the consequences of their actions. N.F. Jamieson Campbell River - --- MAP posted-by: Matt
