Because a lack if clean needles is not going to stop them.

And then it’s going to put more pressure on the medical system to take care of them. This is dumb.

Exactly! It’s so short sighted.

Ford’s policies make it clear that he clings to the outmoded view that addiction is a moral failing and can be stopped by strength of will alone. He’d rather feel superior than save lives.
