We had safe supervised injection sites in my province/City. It was awesome, I live in an area that had three of them, way less people on the street overdosing, way less garbage and fecal matter…and this was with a housing crisis and a rise in homelessness. Our premier just ended this program in April and I’ve noticed a large difference, way more garbage and fecal matter on the street, people are more agitated and things feel less safe. It was nice treating people with minimum decency while it lasted.
The funny thing is we have safe consumption sites for drug use all over the country. They’re called bars.
And I’m willing to bet that the vast majority of people that are pearl clutching about safe injection sites would cry body murder if the same standard was applied to their socially accepted, well regulated and protected drug use.
I was literally taught the term “drugs AND alcohol” in school. Imagine if science class taught you that it was “water AND ice” and that ice is merely adjacent to water.
I think they now teach that alcohol is also a drug, but still.

100% true. Hence they legalized drinking in public parks in all the ‘nice’ neighborhoods but not every park.
