Summary:
Leaflet aimed at the general public, informing them that the reason why more drug addicts are found in residential neighborhoods is that police activity in the Downtown Eastside is pushing them there. It informs readers that most drug users do not have access to proper treatment and that there is a need for a real harm reduction program in Vancouver. It demystifies stereotypes of drug users held by the general public.
