Yes

Countries all over the world are being hit by hard drugs epidemics and it’s becoming more and more dangerous for those who use and for those around them, especially for newer drugs a lot of people don’t know how dangerous they can be

It provides a safe space for these vulnerable people that need a way to help themselfs off their addictions

It's a well known fact that at least 60% of rehab people get on drugs again, it just doesn't work so manage their addiction, wean them off until they no longer use.

Look up whistle blowers like Edward Snowden or Julian Assange who tried to uncover illegal practices by the U.S government.

Safe Havens are not an incentive for drug addicts to stop taking drugs, it just normalises it and makes it easier for them, and feeds their addiction. I don't believe it's helping anyone. It's never safe to take drugs, whether medical supervision is on hand or not. The NHS is in crisis and this only adds to it. I don't think it will mean they're using drugs less often the rest of the time.

As much as we wish we could prevent death and disease from drug use, encouraging any kind of social acceptance is just irresponsible. It may encourage people to keep using or use in the first place workout the fear of danger using these substances.

Waste of medical staff time to provide a service that should be banned anyways due to its high death count

Look at places such as Portugal or the states in America where drugs have been decriminalised/ safe havens set up - it works

Overdose and disease spread through needles are both areas in need of addressing, with havens helping to decrease this risk

it has been used t an extent at festival - drug testing to prove it is safe and it has proved to be successful in reducing death

No, it would make one more likely to take drugs and become addicted to substances. They would need to make more and more of those safe havens as there would be more demand for them.

No, drugs should stop completely as safe havens will increase disturbance, destroy more lives and kill more people if used often/incorrectly

Yes it should be because some people don’t know the effects of it and get addicted to it and not know what they are doing and ruin their health that seek help

statistically speaking if safe havens were to open up it would give addicts the opportunity to ween themselves off drugs

It could benefits many in situations where rehabilitation centers wont. Are you a druggie,no so you don't know what its like.

Addicts should be helped to get off drugs. Safe havens should be in place to let them get off slowly off drugs not allow them to continue doing drugs.

The safe haven would make people take drugs, more people than there currently is to get addicted to drugs and only have them every single day with supervision.

The Safe Haven Act is a dangerous and misguided bill that would put women and children at risk. It would allow anyone to claim custody of a child, regardless of their relationship to the child or their ability to provide for the child's safety and well-being. This could lead to children being taken from their homes and placed with strangers, or even with abusive parents. The Safe Haven Act would also make it more difficult for women to get the help they need to keep their children safe. If a woman is considering giving up her child for adoption, she should be able to do so through a safe and legal process. The Safe Haven Act would take away her options and make it more likely that she will make a decision she regrets.

No, those drugs are illegal for a reason. They’ve taken enough to be addicted so they’re breaking the law.

It would mean that the prisons would be less filled because less people would go to them for doing drugs

I believe that addiction should be not be treated with more of that thing, they should be encouraged to alter the habit for something less harmful and eventually drop it for nothing

Drugs can be seen to ruin lives. By opening up havens you’re just allowing more of a gateway into drugs and taking of substances. Drugs can kill and this just lets that happen without control. This is dangerous and limits life which needs to be protected. To combat drug taking more medical help and criminalization for dealers and serial takers is needed to reduce the levels of drug taking and limit the harms on the quality of life

Studies demonstrate that drug use is linked to increased criminal activity. Safe Havens appear to encourage drug use and thus I think that criminal activity would increase as a result.

No, because a drug safe haven would only encourage the use to get into these drugs due to availability, making the unsupervised shadow economy's market even larger.

No cities should not open drug safe havens as it normalises drugs and will make them more widley available and keep illegal drug dealers in business

Whether or not using certain drugs may create gateways to harder drugs is hard to say, but it is more likely to lead to this than people not taking drugs in the first place. Also, drugs cloud peoples judgement, it’s hard to say a safe space is where this behaviour will stay if intoxicated.

Best evidence from cohort and modeling studies suggests that SISs are associated with lower overdose mortality (88 fewer overdose deaths per 100 000 person-years [PYs]), 67% fewer ambulance calls for treating overdoses, and a decrease in HIV infections.

this would increase the number of drug users in the surrounding area who go to the safe haven for legal drug use however the effects or their use will affect the area around the haven

People will just get more addicted to drugs if they have a place that they can go to do drugs. This would increase the work for the NHS if people overdose. It just defeats the point that we have of the war on drugs.

drug safe havens do nothing but glorify the use of hard drugs in the eyes of those addicted, if a substance is illegal, anybody the government has knowledge of possesing controlled substances should face the consequences if caught, drug havens could also lead to entrapment issues etc. could possibly cause more overdoses if there is more places for people to be able to do so much of a substance.
