So for those that support this clinic and those like them...is the claim that because this center is available, that every junkie using it will only do so when they are at said center? Can we really assume that because a clean needle is available at X clinic, that users will never use another needle at some other injection site? I simply refuse to believe that people sticking needles in their arm, (that are full of mind altering drugs) are able to think that clearly and MORALLY when needing that next fix.

The whole concept is so ridiculously flawed by the very nature of those it serves. Use that money for treatment clinics and it would make about 100 times more sense, but to provide a spot where they can safely get high without knowing where else they may be getting high and what they may be using to do so....is assinine.
