Main points:
Shooting
rooms
maintain
mind
altering
drug use
rather than
eliminate
the problem
through
rehabilitation
to a life
free drugs.
Drugs
are illegal
because they
are
dangerous in
that they
alter the
human mind,
cause health
problems,
shorten life
and cause
death.
Addicts will
purchase
drugs from
dealers
therefore
providing
greater
profits.
Addicts will
still use
crime to get
the money to
buy drugs
from
dealers.
Drug related
crime will
only be
eliminated
by getting
addict’s
drug free.
Drug
overdoses
will
increase as
drug
availability
increases
usage and
deaths from
overdoses
will also
increase
because of
these
increased
overdoses.
Drug
free people
do not die
from
overdoses so
why not get
addict’s
drug free?
Drug free
people do
not need
medical and
hospital
services
because they
have no
addiction.
Addicts say
they will
not use
shooting
rooms unless
they are no
constraints
for theim.
Addicts are
not rational
so have
little
control over
their
decisions.
Who will be
banned from
injecting
rooms
(children,
first time
users,
violent
addicts,
mothers with
kids,
drunks,
suicidal
addicts,
etc)?
Will
shooting
rooms
providers
assist
addicts to
inject
mind-altering
drugs when
the addict
cannot
locate veins
or cannot
inject
themselves,
etc?
Will drug
sharing
(pushing) be
allowed and
how many
times a day
will an
addict be
allowed to
use the
shooting
rooms?
The police
will turn a
blind eye to
"local"
dealers.
How
many taxes
will be used
to
compensate
addicts
families for
overdose
deaths?
Will
families of
dead addicts
be able to
sue
shooting
rooms
providers
and staff
for
negligence?
Families
of drug
addicts
died
can they
prosecute
elected
officials
and staff
of
the
shooting
room
for
negligence?
What
drug
cocktails
will be
allowed for
the 90% of
drug addicts
who use more
than one
drug?
The
number of
addicts will
expand
because of
the Hollande
government
"safe"
message on
shooting
rooms
encouraging
more
addiction,
crime,
overdoses
and drug
sales.
Shooting
rooms have
been
strongly
criticised
by respected
overseas
experts
because they
increase the
use of
mind-altering
drugs.
Respected
international
drug
agencies
have
criticised
shooting
rooms as
they breach
Australia's
treaty
obligations
and
undermine
the
international
fight
against
mind-altering
drugs.
Shooting
rooms will
make our
cities less
attractive
for
tourists,
business and
the local
community.
Mind-altering
drugs are
never
safe.
Alternatives:
We
must copy
other
countries
like Sweden
that have
more success
against mind
altering
drugs.
Must stress
detoxification
then full
rehabilitation.
