@howell, the safe injection sites may be beneficial to the user at first because it could prevent an overdose, infection, or disease transfer from dirty needles. However, over time the drug still does its toll on a body. Essentially it is just putting off the problems of drug use to a later date.

@howell Yes I believe these safe injection sites are good for addicts in the long run. Say a person did overdose and they were saved in these setups I think that action might really hit them as an “ ah hah moment” and help push them to get that help they need. Now sure having them get to that near death situation to affect them is terrible but it's worth a try.
@bonetti Safe injection sites are based off of moral and personal beliefs rather than logic and reasoning. There is data and numbers that show logic and how deaths are decreasing but they figured it out by trying this. They started it up with someone's thought or belief but with time and trials they got the data. So in love of this it started and continues with basing it off of morals and the data is just a big help to keep it running.

@croll, the sites can help with addiction recovery if requested, but why would am addict stop doing their drug when they have a safe place with everything they need to use their drug of choice. Eventually the amount of people addicted could increase if these safe places are provided.

@croll I believe that it would simply promote the use of drug usage by wearing down the stigma that comes with drug use. However could this be a possible avenue to rehabilitation? Do you think that a progressive change such as this could have any potential of being beneficial or does reducing the stigma just make drug usage more appealing to the younger crowd?

@bonetti You raise a good question on the driving forces of these safe injection sites. I believe that the states are driven by a more logical reasoning seeing by all the data evidence they have used. They are trying to find a quick fix and reacting on any positive results they can find. However, the federal government are acting more off of morals by upholding the societal standards and not allowing for people to become less productive members of society.

@mchattie I believe safe injections sites will not promote opioid use and not make it worse, rather do the opposite. I had the same worry that it would imply that drugs are ok, but until this theory is proven I don't believe it will. This is why the. Safe injection sites will not make the opioid epidemic worse but better.

@magliocca. In response to your posed question, the right answer is to actively get help. Most users do not believe they have an illness and don't care for help. The hard part isn't becoming addicted to something its getting the desired help needed to quit using. When you choose to take a drug you know the obvious consequences. Death,fines,and jail time are some of the negative parts. You have to be strong enough in yourself to own up to what your doing and get help. That is what should really be done,but most don't have the will power and commitment to do so.

@croll These safe injection sites will allow people to open up with their addiction, but not many will. For example, lives will be saved but not many will be cured. Regardless of how many are saved or go into rehab, if it still is better than previously then it is a positive.
