Safe injection sites are the best way to reduce the stigma associated with drug use. These facilities provide a safe and hygienic environment for drug users to inject their substances under the supervision of trained medical staff. By creating a non-judgmental space, safe injection sites can help reduce the social exclusion and discrimination associated with addiction. Furthermore, by promoting hygiene and harm reduction strategies, these facilities can also help prevent the spread of bloodborne diseases like HIV and Hepatitis C. Overall, safe injection sites are an important step towards reducing the stigma associated with drug use and promoting public health.
They should be available in every city. The War on drugs is and was a massive failure. It's time to choose a different path, one that saves lives and improves society by taking care of its weakest.
We should also have safe rape facilities for serial rapists. Safe theft stores for kleptomaniacs and shop lifters. Safe day care centers for pedophiles. Safe roadways and routes for alcoholics and drunk drivers.
And people are available in case of OD, to offer various firms of assistance, etc. Once drug abuse is considered a medical/public health problems and address it as such, not as a law enforcement issue, we can move in that direction.
@hunkalove Maybe some media depictions romanticise it but in reality this couldn't be further from the truth. I appreciate you supporting drug use not being criminalized.
@thedarkside Congrats for failing to grasp the basis of communities and societies since the dawn of humanity... being solidarity and mutual aid. Falling into addiction is not always something people willingly choose.
@Spoiledbrat Reducing addiction to irresponsible behavior is a simplification and shows you don't know anything about it. These sites save lives and are a better way of getting people into treatment than any measure fuleled by judgment. In this case the stigma further alienates people from seeking out help.
That's the best insult you can throw my why ... not much of an insult as insults go
Bastard .... hmmm .... didn't realize i didn't have a father ... thank you for enlightening me ... would have be totally lost without your insight and vast knowledge
You defending US military spending and probably the crimes committed by your country in the past is worrying. Your lack of knowledge on sociology and your lack of empathy with other people are the real issue.
Highly educated and mature people refrain from throwing insults
I deal in reality not probably! I'm not defending any crimes! I'm asking for MORE military spending because there are terrorists and dictators in the world who hate us!
You should worry about YOUR country not MINE !
your in charge of setting the standards of empathy ?

Nobody wants to reduce the harms to addicts in a capitalist society. Obviously the guns and cars and overdoses kill the willing and the deserving. This is the goal. We're here! Put your shoes on, kids! It's time to work hard and become roadkill for the fascists! It's our destination.
