Supervised Injection Site in Vancouver

Insite - Supervised Injection Site

What do you guys think about this? Junkies are allowed to inject themselves and provided a sterile environment, clean needles, alcohol swabs, and access to Nurses.

Over 1000 people have ODd since the place opened, but none have died. It is being touted as cost effective and it has health benefits.


Thoughts?

wouldn't it be more cost effective in the long run if they let them die after they OD'd?

They did this in Switzerland and was a complete success

The point is to get them into a controlled environment where staff can start treating them. It was all free as well

Complete success? as in helping them along their path as junkies with as little risk to them as possible and maximum taxpayer expenidture? Or treating their addictions and getting them on the right track?

What cost more making drugs or paying for them to be in and out of prison plus medical costs? Plus switzerland said it was a success and they helped lots of people get off the drugs. Plus the ones that were using the program started to become part of society again, since they didn't have to pay for drugs they could start working again and going about their day. Then pop in for their fix and get back on with life, while the staff there start working with them.

I would be against public money going to something like that but if a private organization raised money to support it I can get on board.
