Summary: 
This presents information from scientific studies on the impact of enforcement on the health of drug users and the drug market. It presents local evidence from the Vancouver Injection Drug Users Study and from the British Columbia Centre for Excellence for HIV/AIDS. All suggest that increasing enforcement affects visibility of drug market, but does not decrease drug use or drug user's safety.
