VANCOUVER ft About two-.thirds of Canada's drug addicts are concentrated in British Columbia, Dr. G. H. Stevenson of the University of British Columbia said Monday. In a report to the Canadian Psychiatric Association on drug addiction, Dr. Stevenson estimated the number of drug addicts in Canada at "a little less than 5.000 with close to 3.000 concentrated in the greater Vancouver area." Dr. Stevenson suggested con-sideration should be given to imprisoning the illegal Iraffik-ers rather than the addict.. He added that Investigation may show use of heroin is less harmful than "cither tobacco or alcohol." He also told the audience of doctors that about one per cent of their 15,000 fcilow practitioners are addicts. Doctors, he said, were addicts for the same reason as underworld characters.
