Narcotic addicts are sick people and need physician's care. It is now time for all of us to face this fact and ask that this responsibility be returned to the medical profession. Police control of the addict is, I suggest, unwarranted. Policemen are fine law enforcers, but they are not physicians. Why should the problem of addiction be entrusted to them? Certainly they should control the traffic in narcotics as far as the supply and sale of it are concerned : but they are not qualified to determine our attitudes and treatment of the addict himself.
