No, this would encourage drug use and lower funding for rehabilitation centers

Drug use and drain rehab funding is that they function as engagement centers that act as a getaway to treatment, rather than enabling addiction.

If these safe havens gave them rehab assistance, it would overall decrease the amount of local drug abuse.

Drug use comes as a consequence of lower opportunities and systematic conditions which give birth to poverty and discrimination. Safe heavens simply create a way in which users can continue the usage of substance far from at risk groups and children

Yes, but maybe the best decision is to increase funding into rehabilitation as a whole and not on imprisoning people for a illness.

People are going to use these drugs no matter what, just in unsafe circumstances. If it is being monitored and regulated than it would be easer for the abusers to eventually be rehabilitated in a safe space. Not to mention that so many people die horrible deaths from withdrawals.

We should help people stop drugs in a way where if professionals are watching over them they will eventually stop using.

Addiction is a disease and people need help with this. We need to provide people with the ability to have this help.

Do you know someone's that's been on drugs because if you don't then you should rethink your stance because most of these people would give out these drugs if they could and they don't get any support from no one

Drug use is a mental issue--drug users will find a way with or without the Safe Haven, so you might aswell ensure safety.

Even if it does ,( which it’s hard to say) the main point of discouraging drug use is protect people and combat addiction and overdose, so even if it may slightly increase usage making sure those who do use it do so safely is worth it

Its better to have a safe injection site than to have one under a bridge or some other unsanitary place, also fund non-punitive rehab, neither of these two things are exclusive

Safe Havens can allow people to be able to rehab and we have seen that the War on Drugs has been a complete disaster and drug abuse is a health issue not a criminal one

An addict is an addict is an addict they will use, we need to make sure they do it in a Safe clean way so as to not spread stuff.

I believe safe haven does show that people who struggle with addiction deserve another chance at life.

I believe this because it would promote first-timers to try out the drugs. After all, they believe that they would be in a safer place when trying them, but it could just get them hooked on the drugs. I think that current drug addicts should get cheaper options for rehabilitation centers instead, as it would help phase out the problem, instead of just slowing it down. It would also cost a lot of money because of the space required, and labor.

People should be pushed to quit and not be allowed to continue abusing drugs even if it is under watchers.

The reason this wouldn't encourage drugs use is cause we would stop their supply of drugs and if they are in the presence of certified specialists they would get the proper treatment and counseling they deserve

A safe Haven does not provide drugs, it helps people get off of them, it is a hard task putting it down after your addicted.

According to this article, it stated that over 1 and 6 people had a problem with the usage of drugs that caused numerous deaths.

I don't think it would because there should be a time and lessons they have and if they don't make it passed it or try harder then there no longer allowed there

It would be 100% regulated. There is no free rein on drug use here. They would know exactly what they were getting and be able to experience just enough to get them by. The withdraw effects from certain drugs can be dangerous and even result in death. Funding for rehabilitation is already low.
