Im just wondering how effective it would actualy be, the nature of addiction is a here and now hit, not a “i will just get myself down to the local safe drug room and have my fix in an hour” how many addicts would actualy stop shooting up in private and take themselfs off to a sterile enviroment???? where they will be regulated and put under a watchful eye and controlled?
Will the addicts still be supplying their own drugs? or just testing what the addicts bring to use? or is it just a case of keeping them contained and lugging em off to hospital when their gear is cut with something grim and hope they are in time?
Its a good idea in theory to get needles off the street, they have had needle exchanges for years but many still share thats the nature of the drug culture. What makes them think this shooting gallery will change things?
oh and seems a bit of a double standard providing a place where you can shoot up smack, but they wont provide a room to have a fag in a pub!
