I’m an ex user, and I think that a great step towards getting people off drugs, would be to get them off the streets first. As far as a supervised injection site, I think if properly supervised and with appropriate securital measures taken, giving homeless crack users a safe, indoor place to use might give them a warm setting to think and change their minds. I know this because as a former user and homeless person I know that when you’re outside and it’s cold and you feel hopeless you don’t want to think about anything, you want to use to warm yourself up, to feel better and to ease the pain. Taking away the awkwardness off having to smoke in some crevice like a degenerate and being stuck in the rain on top of it gives a person a clearer mind. Having councellors in the injection sites could help talk to people who are ready to seek treatment and rehabilitation.

Last year in early November I was walking around the downtown eastside as part of normal routine, and couldn’t help but notice the poverty and hopelessness that seem to be rampant on every corner of this the poorest part of our lovely city. I myself have suffered in the past from addiction and temporary homeless conditions. After a few days of feeling inspired I decided to carry a camera with me and started to document what I saw for the next two week’s I gathered together a archive of photo’s and with the help of a friend we produced a video which we aptly named THE OLYMPICS’ TOOK MY HOME This video is currently hosted on over fifty websites throughout the world. I also started a WEBSITE called 2010homelesschampions.ca ” WHO NEW” Today I’m so looking forward to the coming event’s surrounding the Olympics’ and the plight of this neighborhood Here is the link to this video

I agree that this would be a crutch and we need to get people off drugs by getting them to successful drug rehab programs. It would be a better idea to put the monies toward these facilities so individuals could get off drugs and become productive members of society.
