I realize you’re just being obnoxious, but I’ll humour you with a reply anyway. The safe injection site (as implemented in Calgary) has resulted in a massive increase in needles on the street because there isn’t actually a requirement to inject your drugs at the site.
The issue I have is that via this policy, we are prioritizing the health and safety of a group of individuals that are willingly living a high risk, immature lifestyle at the expense of the health and safety of those of us who live and work in the neighbourhood and actually contribute to society.
