The article “The arguments for and against Vancouver’s supervised safe injection site”, written by Wendy Stueck, describes three positives and three negatives of the Vancouver injection site. This article was published by The Globe and Mailright before a court hearing instilled by the Conservative party to abolish the site. In 2011, the Supreme Court of Canada came to the decision to keep the injection site. A positive effect of the injection site stated in this article, is that the site saves lives. There has never been an overdose at Insite, however, many lives have been saved from overdoses on site. There is also evidence that overdoses in the area surrounding Insite have decreased since the opening in 2003. Insite provides a safe, clean environment for drug users, the injection site also gives users a place to get other necessary help, such as health care or rehab services. However, there are negative effects to Vancouver’s downtown east side injection site. Governments should not be facilitating drug use; as the supervised site may promote users to keep using, or possibly send mixed messages to younger people who may be contemplating use. Money being spent on the site may be better used for treatment centers instead. Another negative effect mentioned by Stueck, is that supervised injection sites do nothing to help addictions or drug use in general. Arguments have also been made that safe injection sites may lure drug dealers and predators to the surrounding area, causing more crime (Stueck).
