    The issue here is that you, and the people who support programs like Insite, are laboring under the delusion that you're actually accomplishing something when you're not. You're simply sweeping a problem under the rug and declaring victory. Society should be working to reduce the number of people addicted to drugs, Insite does nothing to accomplish that goal. Insite is nothing more than society saying: "Fuck it, it's too hard to fight drug addiction so we're just gonna quit trying". It's the path of least resistance. Now if that's the kind of "progress" you're comfortable with then I guess there's no changing your mind, but personally I think we should expect more. Societies are better than that, even if they are Canadians (It's a joke people, relax).

      It's just that by 'society fighting' I'm pretty sure you mean letting first responders deal with the mounting human toll in its sundry and various macabre forms while being helpless to address the underlying problems in any meaningful way. The 'fight' metaphor's broken.
