No but drug addiction should be treated as a health and criminal issue.

Flags up elderly and the mussel man's health problems over COVID hospital healthcare's assistant with possible sores and Rubby backs

 @9G7RS2Wanswered…5mos5MO

Perhaps in a rehab setting where the doses will be reduced over time to safely wean someone off the drug.

 @9G6X65M answered…6mos6MO

Use these spaces to ensure safe drug use, while also encouraging a reduction in drug use and educating users on the dangers of these illegal substances. Treating this as a health issue rather than a criminal issue.

 @9G6V8V3Green answered…6mos6MO

Perhaps for marijuana and mushrooms, depending on the scale of which they use it for etc it should be fine for medicinal, relaxation, anxiety, to chill out. Other heaved drugs such has mdma, cocaine, and even heavier drugs such as meth and heroine should be illegal

 @9G6RQKJanswered…6mos6MO

I think that a safe haven for people who do drugs isn’t going to help them or their families if they have an addiction, rather than a safe haven to openly do drugs create a safe haven for them to slowly get off drugs by increasing time between each use, this will make coming of a drug easier as the harsh and immediate effect of withdrawal will not be as difficult and will give the body time to adjust while knowing they will get another high.

 @9G6J3B5Nationalanswered…6mos6MO

Who pays for the drs to be there and how many more people would stay there all day and what happens if they do it outside of this area what happens

 @9G6C8K4answered…6mos6MO

Yes, but there needs to be a contract agreement in place. It should only be people willing to make change

 @9G5XXQWanswered…6mos6MO

Several questions: Is this literally just people shooting up, or do you have medical professionals offering a friendly atmosphere to offer help? The latter sounds better.
Is the point to help lower drug use and these people being a menace to society?

 @9G5WW9Wanswered…6mos6MO

But there should also be an open policy to help those wanting to recover, without it being forced upon them

 @9G5JD4Lanswered…6mos6MO

As a way of reducing dosage until they are non-dependent? They do this for anti-depressants etc. if this can’t be done then no.

 @9G5F9YNanswered…6mos6MO

Dealers should be hung in public as they ruin lives and the behaviour of these people hooking people on to drugs and the social demise it causes has to stop.

 @9G4P4VJanswered…6mos6MO

I think its a good idea for those who are struggling with drug addiction but I also think it promotes drug use to people who aren't struggling or want to try such as youth.

 @9G4MFMPanswered…6mos6MO

Yes, hire medical and psychological professionals to ween addicts off drugs, and don't provide the service for people who are not addicted

 @9G4KJHWanswered…6mos6MO

While I disagree with the use of drugs, I believe that a safe haven should be ONLY for addicts and that would need to be proven so no new addicts can be created. With medical professionals and guards and stuff supervising I think yes, it would be a better option for addicts to go to rather than the streets.

 @9G49T5Banswered…6mos6MO

No but there should be more funding towards rehabilitation centres and medical help in relation to drug usage

 @9G47Z8Xanswered…6mos6MO

No, but consider sanctuary/ aid for people at the big musical festivals to keep children who experiment safe. Educate society. Decriminalise use.

 @9G45WMSLabouranswered…6mos6MO

I believe in safe havens but I also believe in trying to rehabilitate people. Safe havens should offer both

 @9G3CBPQanswered…6mos6MO

Although I believe addicts should have a safe and clean place to use/be high, I believe we need better resources for rehabilitation and for services relating to mental health in order for people to not become addicts.

 @9G3C86Manswered…6mos6MO

I support decriminalisation of drugs but not drug safe havens. Drug trafficking and dealing over certain amounts should stay criminal

 @9G28X27answered…6mos6MO

Hmmm I think there should be a facility where drug addicts can go to safely wean off them under professional supervision

 @9G28S7Danswered…6mos6MO

Drug use is often connected to mental health issues due to abuse so it should be considered a mental health issue and more funding provided to help with rehabilitation. Maybe in some circumstances have a service like this connected to a mental health / rehab service. But not a stand alone centre.

 @9FLCH6Xanswered…6mos6MO

Multiple drugs helped save my life 1978. In life, I don't need any. Marijuana may be useful combating pain of metal on metal hip.

 @9FGPC3XNationalanswered…6mos6MO

No, this would encourage drug users even more and decrease the health of people in NZ.

 @9FGNMSKLabouranswered…6mos6MO

Yes, but they should be slowly taken off drugs so that they eventually have no addiction

 @9FGN3VHLabouranswered…6mos6MO

I think they should definitely be availableto them but it needs to NOT be a sesh pad it NEEDS to provide help to the people in need. They need help and no one does anything but yet they just end up using on the street creating unsafe environments for everyone else.

 @9FFVZDTNationalanswered…6mos6MO

Why would you put doctors in a room with drug addicts, or ban drugs over all? People should not have access to drugs at all. Also why would you use doctors in drug safe havens even when people with proper problems needs an available doctor.

 @9FFPKRROpportunitiesanswered…6mos6MO

I think drugs should be medical only, yet still be legalised so then people can go and receive help from medical professionals if needed.

 @9FBBGHNanswered…7mos7MO

I think it would be more beneficial to open places where drug users could get their drugs tested in a anonymous environment and be offered support and counselling

 @9FBB8VSOpportunities answered…7mos7MO

No, but some method towards legalizing less socially impactful drugs should be taken

 @9FB6HBTOpportunitiesfrom British Columbia answered…7mos7MO

Yes but they should aim to be supplied with alternative substances that are less harmful than the drug they are trying to wean themselves off

 @9F9ZS8SNationalanswered…7mos7MO

No, but treat as a health issue and increase funding for rehabilitation

 @9F9CF8RNationalanswered…7mos7MO

 @9F9BNDNNewZealanswered…7mos7MO

There definitely needs to be a look into ones health on how they got to that situation and look into the cause with ability to help

 @9F974YDanswered…7mos7MO

I think this would be a good way to reduce drug addiction but it would also make people continue the use of drugs

 @9F93LNJanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, but legalise some and decriminalise other drugs. Make some drugs like meth illegal, opioids like fentanyl illegal. Modernise drug laws they are out of date. Create a progressive approach to classifying new drugs so they can be quickly vetted and made legal or illegal.

 @9F8B6KMGreenanswered…7mos7MO

 @9F7N3VXNew Zealand Loyalanswered…7mos7MO

No need for safe havens, since taking drugs should be legalised. Treated as illness for hard drugs, but normal for soft drugs such as grass.

 @9F7MFFW from British Columbia answered…7mos7MO

Yes, but increase detox spaces, and funding for rehabilitation. As well as walk in counselling, therapy service which wrap around the overdose prevention sites.

 @9F2CPHKNationalanswered…7mos7MO

No, because this just encourages the use of drugs and will only cause people to start using stronger drugs. Also it brings a bad name to our city, we'll have these druggie safe havens which is a disgusting idea to think about!

 @9F28RWRGreenanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, and re-evaluate drug laws. They’re outdated and don’t reflect what the research says.

 @9F28GRJNationalanswered…7mos7MO

 @9F24W8STe Pāti Māorianswered…7mos7MO

Yes, and those with children should be offered supervised housing with support to meet their children's needs, as well as drug rehabilitation support for themselves
