Free Heroin With No Conditions?


The debate over safe-injections sites is polarizing in nature. Notwithstanding the arguments that lean toward having safe-injection sites, convincing those that have reservations remains a challenge. Trying to persuade the holdouts that drug addiction is simply another chronic condition is probably not the best way to get support from people that require medication for health problems for which they had no responsibility in creating. If some addicts are having problems overcoming their addiction through the normal conventional treatments, what is being done to find alternatives? I believe more people would support safe-injection sites if there was an understanding that heroin maintenance was a bridge to drug-free better health rather than the unending solution. If we are not there yet, then when?
