Well, I don't think it's going to stop the majority from just dropping needles all over the place. Separate issue. However, you could offer resources at these locations for people who want to get out of their addiction. At the same time, I think it's not good to cater to the problem. Probably will be enabling them to continue doing what they are doing by offering comfy warm places to do it. If you don't have the money or ability to keep doing something, or you get tired of it, you'll stop. This just makes it easy. Basically we'd be reopening opium dens, except they'd be paid for by the government. Are we going to start giving out tested and certified drugs too, so they don't buy tainted ones that are too powerful? I think we really need to be focusing on offering people a way out and a way back into the community, making it well advertised and as easy as possible. Can't really save people unless they want it themselves. Have any of the council members been through addictions themselves
