Coming out from addiction is a huge step but without support and social connections, nothing will ever change. War on drugs is not a solution. Since I started Addiction and Community Service Program, I began to think that what might needed is decriminalization of drugs like what Portugal did. We see plenty of people on the street of Calgary and even Vancouver, a big city in Canada. Government is doing everything they can to put harm reduction in place and save them from overdosing. However, aside from their personal
circumstances, a big part of why they grow in numbers is because of stigma surrounding addiction and mental health. I am open to decriminalization of drugs. It might be that one solution to reduce, if not solve this societal problem of addiction.
