I have pretty much lived my whole life in
Hamilton, and never have I seen such levels of drug addiction and homelessness.
When our consumption and treatment facility was opened I was watching closely,
as I have personally bested a number of addictions to booze and narcotics. I
hit rock bottom fast. I finally asked for help to get clean and sober, I've
been that way for decades. Today the biggest stumbling block is the notion of
informed consent, which means you can't force someone to quit taking drugs.
It's time for a new approach so addicts have a fighting chance to survive.
