Trudeau comes out in support of the government handing out free heroin
As opposed to what? The thoroughly failed policies of 50+ years of the War on Drugs? Heroin addicts are addicted for life.
How exactly does the Canadian government handing out free heroin discourage more people from becoming heroin addicts and being addicted for life?
There is one basic rule of government....if you want more of something, subsidize it.
If you want less of something........tax it.
Trudeau is signing onto a HUGE GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY for heroin addicts.......free government heroin. No doubt heroin addicts will also get free needles and free housing and free food and free medical care, all at government expense. That huge subsidy for heroin addicts will naturally tend to create more heroin addicts.
Most desire a life of normalcy....
Thats a silly idea. Think about it, if someone wants "a life of normalcy" the last thing they'd do is start shooting themselves up with heroin. Being a heroin addict is hardly a "life a normalcy..." Its a life enslaved to craving a drug. Many heroin addicts become thieves and worse to support their habit.
IMHO the government should be doing everything they can do to discourage people from becoming heroin addicts....not subsidizing it with free heroin. Subsidizing heroin addiction has got to be about the dumbest government program I've ever heard of.
Cheers!
