No, we should not encourage drug use but drug abuse should be seen as a health issue not a criminal one. People should not have to suffer because of past mistakes.

Yes, this could be a helpful harm reduction approach for those with severe substance use disorders, but this needs be heavily managed/policed/supervised.

If it is to be a way for them to slowly ween off the drugs then yes, but if its just for them to continue taking drugs then no

 @9YDXT2Hfrom Alberta  answered…2wks2W

Yes, but significant funding should be allocated to build a rehab system that ensures people stop using drugs. Not just safe havens. Like Singapore.

 @9WYDMSDfrom British Columbia  answered…3wks3W

Yes, people who choose to use drugs so long as their life is still under control can be free to use them, doing this would completely destroy the market for drug cartels. i support this so long as those who are going through a spiral can be protected in the security of their life or whatever they have going for them while they are sent to mandatory rehabilitation until they are clean with significant counseling and help getting those people into a secure and good place in life.

Neutral on safe injection sites. But I believe there should be much more funding for addiction treatment programs, medical detox beds, housing and job support after sustained sobriety, reduced cost counselling, etc.
