Definition:
Safe injection sites are places generally located in the city where current drug addicts can go to intake their illicit drugs legally under medical supervision whenever the site is open. The site will provide anyone wishing to inject drugs with the necessary equipment they need such as clean needles and gloves. The goal of these sites are to prevent death from overdose and sharing needles, which transfers HIV. Although any drug inside the site is legal, consumption outside of the sites are still strictly prohibited. The biggest barrier to these safe injection sites is the political opposition, who believe drugs should not be legal no matter what (Kerr et al.) .
