    Isn't that the way it works though, the mobile unit hands out needles. They're not shooting up inside, just taking the clean needles with them.

    I support the move and I hope they are not arrested. It would be ideal if Toronto would give approval. Safe injection sites don't encourage drug use, but help to protect drug users. If we want to get super practical and cynical, it also helps society if society doesn't end up footing the bill for hepatitis C, HIV/AIDS, and so on.
    Please explain how the workers determine the concentration of the drugs being used, fluctuations of which, is what actually cause overdoses. (Of heroin, especially.)

    They can give clean needles away, already.

    What is more "safe" about this?
