Ontario to close 10 safe consumption sites (Injecting Rooms)and open 19 recovery hubs

CAA

The CAA has long promoted a similar scenario for this state, arguing that kicking those suffering substance abuse or any impairment that removes their acuity to manage themselves Into the gutter and walk away is effectively what we are doing in this State and is a disgusting treatment and disrespect for human life.

The drug apologists try to falsely claim the moral high ground, claiming that Harm Minimisation saves lives. How does facilitating the pumping of some questionable drug into an addict's veins help the addict? It may be okay for them today, but what about tomorrow?

We aggravate the situation by creating an alleged safe injecting room that does nothing to address the issues of the user. How perpetuating the adverse effect that drugs have on people by providing government support in the furtherance of their addiction or risk-taking is incomprehensible.

We can learn a lot from Ontario; they have been there and are now plotting a way back.
