Should cities open drug “safe havens” where people who are addicted to illegal drugs can use them under the supervision of medical professionals?

Credo che ciò debba accadere proprio nei centri di riabilitazione. È una misura che serve a ridurre le morti per overdose, ma che deve essere accompagnata a un trattamento per curare la dipendenza.

No, though I may be in favor of examining the possibility of legalization of the least dangerous drugs. To buy them would require registration with your doctor to get a license to buy drugs for recreational use. It would be an opportunity to catch mental health issues. It would create a source of income to support drug-abuse. It would remove a source of income for organized crime.

yes, but only for people who are chronically addicted

Yes, as long as the use of drugs is well controlled and regulated

Yes, as long as it is used for those trying to quit. Not a drug hang out place

Yes, it shouldn’t be treated as criminal issues but they also have to help them in the detoxication

Si, se questi rifugi aiutassero queste persone a disintossicarsi

sarebbe inutile dato che la maggior parte dei tossici non si recherebbe in questi centri

Yes but in very controlled circumstances

yes but only if the final purpose is rehab

What alternative methods could communities implement to combat drug epidemics effectively without resorting to safe havens?

let people do what they want.

No and all drugs should be illegal.

no dont do drugs

No, but they should not be put in a normal prison if they are willing to be rehabilitated.

No! This system will be abused by junkies. They can make the change they don’t need babysitters.

No , let them rot or get help

Yes, but build a wall around them so they can't leave.

Yes, and also legalize drugs

Support trial of this in worst drug affected zip codes to evaluate effectiveness.

No, but we should treat drug abuse more as a health issue than a criminal issue. Addiction is a not as simple as black and white. I believe there should be incentivization of private corporations to aid with drug use. Not a safe haven where folks can use at will but a treatment clinic where people can safely be rehabilitated.

Under certain circumstances This might help them to be weaned off

I believe rehabilitation and education on drugs should be encouraged, but at least with safe havens less lives are lost.

No, this is unsafe as chronic drug use has health impacts other than overdose.

Yes, I think that drug use should be treated as a health issue not a criminal issue to an extent. People should be willing to take help in order to combat their addiction and one day overcome it

No, but we should treat drug use as a mental health issue as long as the user is the only being affected and they are not harming anyone else.

No, empower the government to rehabilitate the addicts

No, but drug addiction should not be criminalized and recovering addicts should be offered help from professionals.

No, but legalize SOME drugs

It should be up to each city to do as they please

No, but legalize and regulate drugs.

Yes, as long as there is a plan to transition users off the drug eventually

Yes, but not at the expense of traditional treatment centers

Yes, and these people should be guided towards rehabilitation services under a government-funded health care system.

Yes, but require rehabilitation in exchange for safe haven

If the cities wish to, yes. But all drugs should be legalized and/or decriminalized. Addictions should be treated as a health issue rather than criminal.

No, but allow privately-run bar-like institutions for drugs

Yes, but the addicts should be the ones maintaining/paying for the safe haven.

Leave this matter up to local communities

Yes, but I prefer legalizing drugs

So long as it actually works

yes but also try and get them some sort of rehab

No, but provide adequate resources for addicts.

Yes, but with the agreement that the addict will only utilize the facility for a limited, one-time transitional period before entering a rehabilitation center.

Yes, with the agreement that the addict will only utilize the facility for a limited, one-time transitional period before entering a rehabilitation center

No, but they should sponsor rehabilitation centers to do this if within their recovery program.

No, But decriminalize drugs

Yes but they must check into a detox and be responsible for the actions they cause.

drug abuse should be treated as a health issue, not a criminal issue, and legalize all drugs

i think to study the properties of the drug and to see if it could be used in medicine and medical use

Maybe, but not publicly funded ones.

Yes, as long as the goal is to get them off drugs

Yes, as long as the users are required to enter into a rehabilitation program that will be gov't or state funded.

no, instead create a safe space to help them reduce and eventually quit drug use.

Yes, but with a required therapy session either before or after the drug use as addiction needs to be treated with rehabilitation.

Yes, this could help those who are dangerously addicted to reduce their drug use and slowly become less addicted.

Yes, but they must be connected to a rehabilitation center

Yes, but only to supervise so there are not as many overdose deaths.

Yes, not only should drug addiction be seen as a health issue rather than a criminal one, also this is a big step to helping those in need of care, we should also legalize drugs

Recriminalize all narcotics. Make the punishments more severe, create federal incentive for advertising tobacco and alcohol.

Yes, only if there is a plan to help them no longer be addicted

Yes, it's necessary to reduce the drug overdose death rate and drug abuse should be treated as a health issue, not a criminal issue.

Yes, drug abuse should be treated like a health issue, not a crime against humanity

Yes but provide education and resources to help addicts quit using

there should be however it should also help them to no longer do it and seek help

Yes, if they are trying to stop and are taking smaller amounts each time

No, instead we should decriminalize drugs and treat drug abuse as a health issue instead of a criminal one.

No, this would encourage unhealthy habits that have the potential for ripple effects.

No, they don't have supervision now and it would just milk the taxpayers to require supervision. Just make all drugs legal and stop the 'drug war' - it is a failure. We didn't have drugs illegal until 100 years ago and people did as they choose. Keep driving or operating anything that endangers others while intoxicated illegal. It's like trying to make drinking illegal - people are going to do what they want regardless of the laws.

Yes but use it a rehabilitation treatment center as well

As long as it connects to some form of rehabilitation

it should go along with rehab. Drug usage is a health over criminal issue

Not to just use them still but maybe for recovery and weening off of them.

No, encourage and fund rehab programs instead.

this should be aloud only with certain drugs

No, but reduce penalties and provide more support for rehabilitation and assistance programs

How would you feel if a drug safe haven was proposed in your neighborhood, and what concerns or advantages come to mind?

What would you say to someone who argues that supervised drug sites enable addiction rather than treat it?
