Discussion on Drug Policy and Treatment

That's right, it's because I released a drug

policy that they began these smear campaigns.

These smears. Since that's

the case, if they so want to

discuss an article I wrote 12 years ago,

I'm quite happy about it.

Uh, I just find it very surprising

that this is an article I wrote 12 years

ago, so what do I mean?

The author isn't dead yet.

The author is still here.

Yet what I say doesn't count,

only what they say counts.

This really is rather baffling.

My article 12 years ago made it

very clear: being anti-drug is everyone's

consensus. None of us is in favor of drugs.

Uh, but the question is, for those who already

have a drug addiction, how do you treat them?

The entire article discusses treatment.

So, just now they said Mayor Chiang Wan-an has three questions,

asking me what a community center is.

Right now, be it methadone

or the so-called distribution of needles,

it's all done through our municipal hospital system,

then at health centers and at our pharmacies.

That's where it's done. Aren't these all

in the community? So I've always

felt that he—what we—what I said about

treatment is what the Taipei City Government is doing

now. So if Chiang Wan-an

is like this, it seems he wants to—

is he going to debate himself?

Or is he going to debate the Taipei City Government?
