I think that it is important to note that safe injection sites are a pathway towards sustainable drug elimination goals. This is because they offer researchers and public health workers access to those who abuse subsistence. Junkies are a hard to reach population and because of that reliable information about their demographics, and habits is difficult to get. This isn't only about finding a place to shoot up, this is about gaining information, and building strategies so that "up-stream" and "down-stream" solutions can be implemented more effectively. It has already been proven that heavy handed law enforcement, and otherwise ignoring this crisis has not worked.
