TRUE NATURE OF ADDICTION

Letter writer Barry Joneson and other Insite detractors don't
understand the nature of addiction

You cannot force people to do something and unless society is willing
to give police the power to do so, then harm reduction is the only
thing that makes sense.

You can have all the treatment facilities you want, but addicts who
don't want to make use of them will have only the streets to do their
drugs.
