Comment on DPNC PRESIDENT’S LETTER TO THE NATIONAL POST by Ann Stoker

Ann Stoker — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 13:44:47 +0000

The President of DPNC is absolutely correct in her comments. I visited the area of Vancouver where Insite is located several years ago and could not help comparing the appearance and demeanour of those users congregating in the area to those I have visited in residential rehabs. If you ask a still suffering addict if he wants a place like Insite he will almost certainly say yes – but in my experience if you ask a drug user in recovery they will all say Thank God I was given the help I needed to escape the
shackles of drug addiction. Referring only 3% of users to treatment aiming for abstinence is shocking. Residential treatment for those who need it (not want but need) should be mandatory.

The Harsh Reality of Drug Addiction richardmclaughlin007 — January 18, 2009 — after 11 months of sobriety from drug addiction, in 7 short days this man hits the depths of despair and insanity.

This video was shot in Vancouvers downtown eastside by the narrator it is quite extreme, It shows how common place and and readily available drugs are and how people can succomb to a extreme physical reaction from lack of sleep, nutrition and dehydration. This video was made for many different reasons, one being educational the other as mentioned earlier it’s common place here in Vancouver, in any other city or town in North America this man would have recieved immediate medical attention but here in Vancouver both the police and ambulance just drive by. If you do not belive me come on down and see our little human circus slash “HARM REDUCTION EXPERIMENT”
This man was spotted two hours later sleeping on a concrete curb as his pillow.
Both the narrator and producer of this video have had spent many years struggling with addiction and have spent hard time in Vancouvers “NOTORIOUS” downtown eastside.
Today they have escaped and are clean and sober and now dedicate there lives to those who still suffer from “THE HARSH REALITY OF ADDICTION”
