I think Safe Injection Sites have their warts, as many programs like this do, but I also think we have to be careful not to let 'The Good' become a casualty of the 'less than perfect.'

They are not solving the problem but they are contributing to it not being exacerbated while we learn more to come up with a real, practical solution.

It wasnt long ago when I'd likely have agreed with the concept of: 'Lock 'em up, Dry 'em out and let 'em go!'

That will create more problems of its own and likely not solve the the real underlying issues.

And I think we have to acknowledge that we just cant solve the real underlying issues. As long as people and drugs exist this will continue. Humans have been using drugs of various forms and varieties since the Dawn of Time.
