A safe injection site for Herion users. A good thing?

i'm pretty sure these 'safe places' also provide a route to councilling and a route into rehab programs aimed at catching the eye of those who want to break free of the hold the drug has.

 ^^ The above Idea occurred to me but it seems pretty far fetched...

 Cuz once the users get a whiff of this plan they will altogether stop attending these *sites* and then there's no point in opening them in teh first place.

I'm sorry, O, I have no compassion.  They should die in the streets if they won't go get help, I don't give a fuck about them.  My dollars are better spent helping things that people have no control over, like children with diseases or no homes, etc.  Drug addicts fucked up their own life, why should I save them?

It seems like a good idea, so that no one will o.d. and that the needles get thrown out and all. Im not too sure though about them actually LETTING them inject that.. it IS illegal right? i mean.. if they have heroin places, why not weed places 8) then it'll be all good!

We have marijuana cafe's in Vancouver too, a few blocks down from the safe injection site, lol.  The problem is so bad here, it's just easier this way, it can't be stopped, so it's better that it's controlled and contained.

you know my stoiry about Herion, so I'll just say that my ideal situation is to send all herion addicts to rehab. Herion is the most addictive drug in North America, and it has lead to the distruction to many lives and families. The most ignorite way of thinking is that only people with no families, and no love ones are the ones on the streets using drugs like herion. Though rehab would be better, since it is cheaper than jailing addicts, and has the highest sucessful results in terms of getting people off drugs in general. But then again, California has always been ahead of it's time. Safe Injection is cool, but I think that there needs to be something that has better results as a sollution.
