ADDICTS CAN'T SHIRK RESPONSIBILITY

Re: "Officers carrying naloxone kits can save lives, RCMP says," Feb. 11.

Our police and EMS are turning themselves inside out trying to save
people hell-bent on killing themselves. What responsibilities do these
drug users assume in any of this? They know the risks, but also
realize that there is a safety net that our police and medical
professionals offer that will save their lives if something should go
wrong. So how much do we fine these people for breaking the law, using
our valuable EMS and medical resources and saving their lives?
