The New York Times interviews a drug addicted man from Vancouver whom I have interviewed myself during my Homeless Christmas. His name is Lawrence Brooks. He makes a case for keeping and expanding Insite, which is a government-affiliated safe injection site for heroin and cocaine addicts. Studies have shown that Insite reduces disease, crime, overdoses, and increases detox admittances.
