DRUG CARD COULD BENEFIT ALL CANADIAN RESIDENTS

I WOULD LIKE TO SUGGEST A SOLUTION TO DRUG ADDICTION AND THE CRIME AND DISRUPTION CAUSED BY DRUG ADDICTS.

MANY PEOPLE OBJECT TO THE COST WE WOULD INCUR BY SUPPLYING ADDICTS WITH DRUGS.

I BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD COST LESS TO DEVELOP A DRUG ADDICT SUPPLY PLAN THAN STOPGAP PLANS AND POLICE COST.

THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA COULD PURCHASE MOST DRUGS FOR LESS THAN DRUG DEALERS AND ADDICTS CAN.

THE PLAN I WOULD PROPOSE WOULD INVOLVE CREATING INGESTION, INJECTION AND INHALATION CENTERS WHERE DRUG ADDICTS WOULD HAVE TO ATTEND TWICE DAILY TO CONSUME DRUGS ON SITE, WITH NO "TAKE OUT".

RIGOROUS AND REGULAR BLOOD ANALYSIS COULD MONITOR ADDICTS FOR THEIR NEED AND THEIR CONSUMPTION OF UNAUTHORIZED DRUGS PURCHASED FROM CRIMINALS. THIS WOULD DRIVE THE DRUG DEALERS OUT OF BUSINESS AND MAKE IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO GET ADDICTED WITHOUT SIGNING UP FOR THE DRUG DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM. 

THE NEED OF DRUG ADDICTS FOR DRUGS WITHOUT ENGAGING IN CRIME WOULD MAKE ANY ANTI SOCIAL BEHAVIOR EASY TO DETECT FROM SURVEILLANCE VIDEO AND SIMPLY MAKING THE ADDICTS WAIT TO GET THEIR DOSE WOULD BE A POWERFUL INCENTIVE TO BEHAVE.

WHERE TO DISTRIBUTE THE DRUGS COULD BE FIGURED OUT AND IN ADDITION HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS  PROVIDED AWAY FROM CITY CENTERS WHERE DRUGS WOULD BE MOST CONVENIENTLY ACCESSED MIGHT BE AN INCENTIVE TO GET OFF THE STREETS AND OUT OF OTHER PERSON'S LIVES AND OUT OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS. PERHAPS COMBINING THE HOUSING WITH INDUSTRIAL FARMS MIGHT WORK.
