Safe injection site

What's your stance on them? Good thing or a bad thing?

 

there is no such thing as a good injection site unless ur getting a flu shot!!! or maybe the depo shot if ur a girl

 

Might as well have a port put in and just main line it. Let it go straight to your heart.

 

this is not true at all, the flu shot is a good ammount worse for you than alot of druge you could inject

 

does "safe injection site" refer to an actual place where you can go to get clean needles/supplies and the like, no questions asked?

if so then yes, i think they are a good thing. like the needle exchange.

 

As someone going into nursing, I think 100% that cities need to support local safe injection sites. They hugely decrease the chance of overdoses and unsafe practices like needle-sharing (thus helping to slow the rate of hiv, hepatitis and other diseases). Listen, if you've seen the sketchy sides of town like Vancouver's downtown east side, you know that these people are addicts and that they will shoot up no matter what...at least providing them with a safe place to go (where they can be watched over by a nurse and people who give a shit about them and be provided with information on addiction treatment and risk prevention) can help slow the decline in what is otherwise a hard, dangerous life.

 

i think ther a good idea, im sick of finding needles in down town washrooms and im sik tring to fined private plases to shoot up :/

 

I shoot it in my arm. Its pretty safe..

 

yaaaa thats not what ther refering to lol, ther talking bout a actual location people go to shoot up, like a building were thay have cleen needles and nerses and info on adiction and were to fined programs to help beet it.

 

Junkies are prone to local and general infections. They're also notorious for not sticking to follow-up care, finishing antibiotics, etc. Needle exchange places keep them and their loved ones healthier. I hate the habit, but I don't want to see anyone needlessly suffer.

 

I think it is a great idea. The hatred towards heroin IV-users is disgusting. They are just human beings who happen to enjoy a substance that you don't like, and they use a route of administration that you don't like. In a civilized world, heroin addicts should be able to go to a medical facility, get injected by a nurse, and given a nice place to hang out at for the duration of the high. But that would never happen in our messed up world...

 

I know...
I need to see a cannabis dispensary before I see needle locations.. Ideally there should be a place where adults could get a shot in the arm or coke/heroin/ your choice of whatever..
