I believe drug injection sites are not helping, they are promoting the illegal use of drugs. If the drugs were made legal, then the SIS's would make sense, but as it is, its simply hypocritical and illegal. There is the matter of harm reduction, however, i believe that harm could be reduced by making the drug legal, so it would not be so appealing and expensive, eliminating the underground market for drugs. It would save a lot of people time, money, and their lives if drugs were made legal and therefore less appealing.
- I agree with the above, But in the meantime people need a safe, clean environment to be in. This adds to the plan of saving people time, money, and their lives. belive me I know. Vancouver

It would be interesting to know the total amount the site is costing tax payers.
I would like to propose the changing of this site from "safe-injection site" to "supervised-injection site" to make it align with the terminology used by Insite: http://www.vch.ca/sis/ There is nothing "safe" about injecting heroin and the terminology regarding harm reduction should change to match this. Just because the media refers to them as "safe injection sites" does not mean it is correct. Canadianehme 19:52, 24 November 2006 (UTC)canadianehme
[edit] Dead Link
The link to the Barrish article seems to lead to a broken site when I try to call it up using Firefox in Linux. Does it work for anyone else or should it be removed? KenWalker | Talk 20:23, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
It would be interesting to know the total amount of money the site is "saving" the taxpayer. Its got to be cheaper than health care by 911.
[edit] Merge of injecting room
The article on injecting rooms needs to be merged into this one. --151.201.24.17 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 19:47, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
