Here's something else that's successful in Vancouver: The Weed cafes.
It's like Canada's own little Amsterdam! When staying in the Vancouver area, make sure you check out the New Amsterdam cafe on Hastings (before it gets super sketchy). Good times. Good times.
(*disclaimer* weed cafes might lead to a huge loss of time... meaning you might go in at 3 in the afternoon, and come out at 10, thinking you've only been in there an hour tops.)
I say hazaa! to the safe injection sites. It worked in Europe, it's working here. Of corse people are going to have problems with it, until they see the benefits of it. It's like the government paying for methodone for addicts - you're giving them the drug, but it's helping in the long run.
