Sydney drug center

[Guest]

SYDNEY, AUSTRAILIA- Behind frosted glass windows, Australian heroin users injected themselves for the first time in an officially sanctioned center that provdides clean needles, counseling, and medical staff, authorities said.
Australia's first supervised drug injecting center opened Sunday night in the heart of Sydney's seedy Kings Cross strip-club district.
The curch-run center, which featurees stainless steel booths, free syringe dispensers, and a medical treatment room, is on an 18-month trial aimed at reducing drug overdose deaths.
Similar facilities are operating in countries including Switzerland, Britain, and the Netherlands.

About bloody time, too. The government shot down previous attempts in Melbourne and Canberra.

I don't know!
My aunt is a big liberal that thinks we should legalize drugs and let people buy them safely.
I tend to think that making/keeping it illegal does tend to keep *some* people away from it. I mean some people will try a cig because heck, at least it is legal. But who says more people wouldnt try drugs if they thought there were no legal ramifications? I know that was part of the reason, as I grew up (got smarter)lol that I said "No thanks" to that type of thing.

I think people will always take drugs, and probably moreso because it's illegal.
