We shouldn't be accomodating addicts like this. I don't think we should be punishing them either. If they want to ruin their health and their lives with heroin then they should have the freedom to do so, but the taxpayers shouldn't be providing suites for them to shoot up in.


These arent suites dude, its literally about clean needles and its beneficial to the health of the entire community. Why the fuck would anyone be against this? Its like saying we shouldnt teach people to wash their hands. Jesus Christ.


This isn't about the health of the entire community, it's about the health of people choosing to abuse dangerous drugs. And if anything, this might hurt the health of the general population when hospitals and clinics have to start rationing their syringes because becasue so many are now going to accommodate the addicts. There aren't unlimited needles in the world and, just as an example, when the elderly aren't able to get their flu shots as easily and children can't get their vaccines because needles are now in short supply that's going to be a lot worse for the community. Or, at the very least, the price of needles is going to skyrocket.


You know that addicts interact with the rest of the population, right? So if a drug user gets a disease from a dirty needle, it can be spread to anyone in the community. Thus, these centers are beneficial to the health of the entire community.
