Yes. In the Downtown Eastside there are a lot of people who use whatever is available and cheapest. I've done so many overdoses—you can't imagine—and I don't see people get up and be violent that way. People get upset. Sometimes they cry. They don't know what's happened to them.
It's all in who's standing there above them, whether they're gentle and kind to them, and reassuring. If you wake up and don't know where you are, and there's a police officer hanging over you, it might be a bit scary for some people.
I'm not really sure, but I can tell you it's all about how you approach the situation.
