Better then using dirty needles, I guess.
Is using "Julian Assange is a Hillary butt plug" an acceptable signature quote?
Okay, since my thread got locked for being a duplicate (grumble grumble), I'll repost my point.
The Insite centre reduced OD deaths by 35% (compared with 9% overall in the rest of Vancouver), increased rehab admissions by 30% and reduced crime in the area.

So, my understanding is this. You go there, doctors from the local health community work there. They make sure you have clean syringes, you are taking the right amount and that you don't OD. They make it easy for drug addicts to go in, do drugs and still go for rehab without fear of police interference.
