Millions of dollars has been spent to get people off drugs, but they just go right back to them. Why try to control those people that are already addicted and have a little chance of rehabilitating? Spend the money trying to keep the drugs out, and then there will be less drugs and therefore less need for stations like this. Instead of attacking the problem when it arises, attack it before it happens. This is going on already with little success, and that is why pot may be decriminalized. I'm thinking in favour of this action. I've never smoked and probably never will, but spending millions to get rid of something that is pretty much "harmless" is stupid. Attack the source. Grow operations and such.

I think providing places such as these stations might in the long run help the users out. And the fact that needles are dangerous is exactly the lace is opened. Vancouver is one of the worst places in N America for drug users. Probably one of the worst places in the world. This place allows the safe destruction of used needles and such and makes it safer out on the streets. I think theres EMS there so nobody overdoses and shit like that. I think this helps out more than rehabing does.
