I have said nothing that would disagree with you. That said it is the appoach of those who would rather tidy addicts away to suffer rather than cure their illness. I would find simply putting alcoholics in a pub with a nurse on standby equally absurd.

I dont think there is a cure for addiction. Casinos definitely hope not. The best we can do is preventative measures. In the sense that we can prevent drug disease/death and crime rising. There is an aids epidemic in Glasgow from sharing needles. What does that tell you?

Ok. this is untrue. Addiction can be cured. It needs far better treatment though. It is a branch of mental health which took years for parity of esteem to be mentioned. It tells me injecting per se is a nightmare when needles are shared. It tells me no more.

You make it sound so easy... I think the needle exchange is a far more pragmatic and realistic option

It is an application of the law. A needle exchange cannot work when needles are discarded.

Isn't the point being they wouldn't be discarded as they would be safely disposed off at these places?

This is the assumption and presumes rationality and responsibility and is not borne out in practice. It expects such people to follow the same norms as the general public when they already clearly don't.

Your problem. It is clear what I wrote.
