I am actually not against safe injection sites and I think they do have a role to play in some aspect. I am one of the rare people who take a very strong anti drug stance and see that there is some logic and positive aspect that can come from them but I am a firm believer on limits.
Safe injection sites are really good preventing deaths but what happens before and after? It can't just be we prevented an overdose death and provided a brochure on addiction support but all aspects of the downsides of addiction and the decline of the area are then ignored.
There's lot's of praise about saving an overdose death but a little bit too much "ahh, shucks, too bad" for murder, assault, life changing, life altering victims of crimes as a result of someone's else's problem.
