Criminalizing drug use, as has been done for the past 30 years, has done nothing to solve addiction problems. The "War on Drugs" is a failure. We need to treat drug abuse as a health issue and give addicts the help they need, not imprison them. #NY19https://www.hrw.org/news/2016/10/12/us-disastrous-toll-criminalizing-drug-use …

The problem is not enough rehabilation centers and no forced rehabilation or “x” amount of jail time for failure to follow rehab but you can’t just feed an addiction for people that won’t want help to save one or two. You are killing way more than saving

Your thinking is understandable but ultimately incorrect. Check out the progress that Portugal made after decriminalizing all drugs. Real progress in drug use & addiction comes from switching from a punitive response to one of public healthhttps://m.mic.com/articles/110344/14-years-after-portugal-decriminalized-all-drugs-here-s-what-s-happening#.5pTvh7mOV …

Really? How do you know anything about safe injection sites and
#harmreduction? You probably never set foot in one. There's a reason why people fight for harm reduction. It's the last hope for some folks. You want to see them dead maybe? It wouldnt surprise me I guess. -
It's so obvious the
#gop is on a last minute purge mission, before they get tossed out. Closing safe injection sites, taking money from seniors, caging children-- trying to destroy as many weaklings as you can before losing power huh? That's gonna be hard to live with, bud. -

Your statement is untrue and dangerous. People who are addicted will use drugs regardless. Having safe injection sites does not cause people to use drugs, they just allow those who are already using to do it in a safer environment.

These sites provide clean needles to people who don't have access to them, which helps limit the spread of diseases that occur when people share needles. They reduce deaths by providing narcon to the people who OD.
-
Safe injection sites are an invaluable resource that help keep people safe during their active addictions so that when they're ready to recover they have a chance to because they might otherwise be dead if it weren't for places like these.

Safe injection sites are where IV drug users get access to treatment. They reduce the number of overdoses, prevent disease and help addicts access care. Speak to public health workers and they will say the same.

Have you heard of peer reviewed research? It might be time for you to learn about it and stop basing your policy choices on religiously and punitively based stigmas.
