I thought drug consumption sites were dangerous. This is why I was wrong (www.thespec.com)

Because that's where people use drugs. If you have a neighbourhood where people use these drugs, everyone is better off with a site in proximity, even people who don't use dangerous drugs. If the site is drawing people into the area, that only speaks to a lack of sites.

Except giving people access to drugs is not helping anything. They come shoot up and since they’re around do shit. Giving them drugs is not the answer to fixing the problem. We need social programs to help people get out of the situation that caused the use in the first place.
