The whole concept of the Guyana-brand of “junkies” is worth some additional study even though I suspect much has already been attempted with respect to this unwanted social phenomenon. My consideration relates to why drug addicts become social rejects so swiftly. Then what should be done to invite them off the streets and pavements.
Prevention, I know, is far better than cure. But I would love new legislation to take strong young addicts- and the mentally-challenged – to modern Rehab Centres. These centres should be manned by friendly, firm professionals – doctors, nurses, psychiatrist, tutors, wardens – who would ensure that residents are reformed for an eventual return to society.
