Vancouver B.C. has a “safe injection site”; where intravenous users of illegal drugs can shoot up, under the supervision of specially-trained nurses.
This site is part of a “harm-reduction strategy”, which is strongly supported by many of the very same people, who are behind draconian anti-smoking laws (and by many others of the same ilk). They want to ban vaporizers, because they might “renormalize” smoking. Meanwhile, they can’t see how a government-sponsored “safe” injection site might normalize the injection of heroin, cocaine, crack, meth, etc. It’s positively mind-boggling.
Exactly. They're all about harm reduction for so many things, IV drug use, safe sex teaching, but figure out a way to drastically reduce death from cigarette smoking with a vaporizing e-cig and they're making grumpy cat faces. Lying bastards, all, with an irrational hatred of tobacco in any form.
