Heroin



I believe that a line cannot really be drawn on this topic. To say it is going too far to help them out by giving them clean needles do use when they shoot up is wrong. Like they were saying in the show, it’s not a choice for all of them to be a junkie. So by giving them the opportunity to have a clean needle and a safe place to use the drug could be saving a life. By doing this it also helps prevent an outbreak of STD and other infections.
I'm not saying I agree with or justify the usage of drugs, but that it's unhealthy to let them reuse everything. What can be done? Well I think that what can be done is being done for the most part. The government cannot afford to put every drug user in to jail or to put them through rehab, so giving them supplies to stay healthy is a cheaper alternative.
Can anything be done, well that is up to the people? With the cost of living so high not many people can afford to house the people on the streets. Sure some nights some of them can get into a shelter, but what about the other nights where there is no room left. Many of these people are forced to sleep on the streets, and this is not healthy or safe. I honesty cannot say there is anything that can be done to help these people out, but to hope they don't start an outbreak of some plague.
