Should cities open drug “safe havens” where people who are addicted to illegal drugs can use them under the supervision of medical professionals?

Absolutely not. I’m baffled here. Drugs are illegal. A previous question suggested decriminalizing drugs. Opening a safe haven is condoning the participation in drug use. The answer is no and and illegal drug user should be arrested, tried and eradicated

For those in recovery to lower the withdrawal symptoms

Yes. There will still be drug abuse and overdoes if there is a safe haven or not.

Yes, it should be done under the supervision of doctors and slowly eliminate the use of drugs because drugs destroy and destroy the future generation of Canada.

No, but they shouldn't be treated as criminals

I see both sides. It's a health issue that create crime

Yes, but with legal drugs and supervision of medical professionals.

Yes, drug abuse should be treated as a health issue, and this would greatly reduce the drug overdose death rate. Although, the medical professionals should be able to slowly lower the dosage over a long period of time so the people do not need to be addicted anymore.

If they received drug counseling, this would be good.

Yes, but make rehab and option when entering the building and suggest alternatives and help centers.

While drug use should be treated as a health issue rather than a criminal issue, I don’t think we should have places for people to use safely, I think it will just prolong addiction and instead users should be court ordered to attend free rehabilitation until their addiction is fixed.

Yes, but the drugs must be used to help the patient recover from their addiction. Not allow them to continue to fuel their problem.

No, but legalize some drugs, increase funding for rehabilitation.

yes however severe addicts need to be taken off the streets and given treatment

No, we need more rehabilitation access for addicts to get the help they need to not be addicts. We need more social programs as preventative measures for at risk families

Yes, but not in the city or right down town. These sites also have people to assist with mental health

No, but institutions should be in place for those who require extensive rehabilitation.

Arrest them and lock them up until they are un-addicted

Yes but reduce the doce every time so they get better and don’t do drugs anymore

yes but i also think it should focus more on rehabilitation. only no if it decreases spending on rehab programs and no if itll make addictions worse.

Yes, but as a rehabilitation center

Yes but policing the local area around the safe haven will be required to prevent criminal activities around the marginalized community’s.

Yes, because they cannot quit cold turkey, if so they die

in some cases no and yes because there mght be some that go to get help or go use them there but the ones that are already into the illegal drugs would most likely go and keep using them at their house. instead of going to see professionals wacthc them take them.

most addicts serve next to no purpose to society. They are better off being dead because it would minimize crime rates and give society less mouths to feed.

Mixed between safe havens and rehab programs

no, drugs should be illegal if not prescribed, etc...

i dont have an answer

if used for medicinal reasons

No, but treat drug abuse as a health issue, not a criminal issue

Add more safe havens for recovery instead

There must be organise support like Portugal if we go that root

Yes, but this should be treated as a rehab so less and less of the drug each time

No, make rehabilitation easier and do not penalize the use of drugs if the addict is seeking help

yes, but send them to a recovery facility when there done and show them the harmful effects of what there doing

Yes, drug abuse should be treated as a class issue, not a criminal issue.

No, invest in more rehabilitation spots instead.

Yes, drug abuse should be treated as a health issue but it is also part of a criminal issue

Rehab centers

Yes, but only if the final goal is to get the addicts off the drugs

No. I understand that these people can't just go off of drugs at the drop of a dime but giving people a place to do drugs is almost the same as "Inviting" them to ruin their health. I think that this should not be a thing and I strongly disagree with this.

yes but they will have to go drug meetings to help them stop

Yes, drugs should be treated as a health issue but funding should not be taken away from rehabilitation centers

Yes, but slowly get them to stop taking the drug

Yes, but put these facilities further from residential areas

I think this is actually not a bad plan because they could try and hep them and get them rehab, people will still do drugs so if there legal they can feel safe to talk

Yes but don’t encourage the use of drugs, try and help the people and provide resources on quitting

yes, because no matter what we do people will continue to use drugs. Even if they are illegal.

Yes, as long as it is in the process of a rehabilitation center
