The injecting room gets used doesn't it?

The announcement is a bit too coincidental IMO.

Hint.........law and order is trotted out before every state election, so my view is that there are other motives here.

Listen to this interview to put it into perspective.  The government has been made aware of problems for years, and funding has been cut.

He says that "command and control" method will fail.  All methods like this have failed for the last 50 years.

Time to try another method, and pigs will fly first.

The use of elicit drugs is against the law. Those who have addicted themselves to their use should be deprived of them and charged as having broken the law.

there is too much namby pamby in the treatment of those who are suffering from SELF INFLICTED addiction.

What would you suggest D?
