Absolute disgrace to Vancouver

These people have bought into the belief that they are victims of "supposed" wrongdoings by society.

What a crock of sh$t. None of us has a perfect upbringing, and we all struggle; however, do not blame society for your choice to do drugs and to stay in that cycle.

Safe site injections

As a recovering addict myself, I believe that it would be benificial for safe-injection sites for intravaneous users, so they do not contract diseases like HIV/AIDS etc. However, there should be more options for drug treatment as well for those who want to get sober.

let us hope for better

Why should someone change the laws because some people are not that smart and start doing drugs? It is not fair, we have bigger problems to handle like poverty and they are thinking about making heroin addicts happy people.

This is a very wrong idea. What will be next? To make heroin and other drugs legal? If someone wont to nothing about this, then I think that the world is going in the wrong place.

What are the possible arguments to make the major to approve that? When it comes to drugs safety and prevention should be top priorities.
