Re: “Burlington City Council Waters Down Safe Injection Site Measure”
SISs are a bad idea. They perpetuate the misery of the addict by giving up on them and expect that there is no help for them except to die an eventual early death. The 100% "positive" studies for SISs are unscientific at best, self-serving at worse. They increase public overdoses, public deaths, public use, needle litter, homelessness, crime.
My arguments against SISs are in the comment section here. I also include more positive scenarios for user/addicts by experts in the field:

Opioid Addiction Is a Huge Problem, but Pain Prescriptions Are Not the Cause
"But the simple reality is this: According to the large, annually repeated and representative National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 75 percent of all opioid misuse starts with people using medication that wasnt prescribed for themobtained from a friend, family member or dealer. "
