That’s why safe injection sites should be more widespread. Safe disposal of needles, less risk of spreading diseases, and potential avenues for people to seek help.

We have those. They go to the trails and parks. Should we just set up sharps boxes on all the trails and in all the parks so drug abusers can just shoot meth anywhere they please? They completely take over and violently trash every river and bike path close to town. Our city does ok but they can't make anyone shit in an outhouse or throw their needles away, and apparently they can't be bothered.

It's gross and disrespectful to the community and it's not about having other options. They trash every space they take here.
