    Ladies and gents and everything in-between. The drugs are going to get used no matter what.

    Just give them somewhere to do them.

      The problem is, and I’m sure you don’t need to hear this from me, is that if you give them a place to do drugs they will congregate there and without correct support and supervision (and that is never provided because money) the addicts and community end up at odds with each other.

        Got it; Unsupervised Homeless + Safe Space = Thunderdome.

        This is a problem?

        (/s, but the unethical part of me…)

          Well no. These would be centers where people can go do drugs. They would be supervised. There would be staff monitoring them.

          Look. You have someone addicted to meth or heroin they can’t just stop… They need to keep using or they can die in the case of h and meth is extremely hard to stop cold turkey.

          Centers that allow people to use can address many issues these people have.
