Just think, one day when a Barrack Obama or Hillary Clinton or John Edwards gets their way and we have national health care and then some bureaucrat decides that it’s in the best interest of public health to give crack addicts free crack, you’ll get to pay for the crack.

NANAIMO, B.C. (CP) - The mayor of Nanaimo is furious that Vancouver Island’s Health Authority is handing out free “crack kits” to drug users in the city.

The kits are to be used as a harm-reduction strategy, but Mayor Gary Korpan calls the program unethical and immoral. Korpan asks if the program is good medicine, then why are organizers trying to hide it?

I’ve read stories like this before where the government provides drugs to addicts and I’ve always wondered...when the government buys crack or heroin or something, where exactly do they buy it from?  Do they set up some drug lab in a government building somewhere?  They must, because I can’t imagine them sending some bureaucrat down to the street corner to buy some hits off the friendly neighborhood pusher.

Kind of a weird thing to think of.
