Safe injection sites

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.

If they all OD, then we won't need any supervised injection sites. The taxpayers would save a bundle.

@thedarkside what a cruel and capitalistic way to view the suffering of others.
@Gloomy No one told them to stick a needle into their arm. It's their problem, not the taxpayers.

@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.
