LET'S DO DRUGS. AFTER ALL IT IS LEGAL!!

So you’re walking home after a long day at school and decide I need a hit! So you head down to the legal injection room where nurses watch as you inject heroin, cocaine, or other drugs and then have a nice relaxing cup of coffee or go down to the “chill out” room for some medical attention. Sound crazy? Well maybe, but Sixty-five similar facilities exist in 27 cities in eight countries, and now San Francisco, California is trying to build one too. By building a facility, San Francisco is hoping to reduce the high rate of fatal drug overdoses in the city. There are many challenges that would be faced in trying to open a place like this. First of all aren’t drugs illegal? Just because some nurse is watching, that doesn’t make them anymore legal does it? This is crazy to me. I understand that the city of San Francisco wants to reduce its overdose rates and prevent needle sharing, but I hardly think this is the right way. If it’s going to be legal for a place like this to be open, then why would there be a reason to bust a crack house. It’s the same thing just without the nurses and coffee. The only facility like this in North America is located in Vancouver and so far it’s had 800 overdoses. In 2004 the number of overdose cases in San Francisco was 40, which dropped from 160 in 1995. In my opinion I say don’t do it. We want a world without drugs and if anyone can just walk off the street and legally get what they would’ve gotten anyway, what motivation is that for them to stop doing the drugs?
I found this article on the New York Times website. Here’s the link http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/us/AP-Supervised-Injections.html
