No, we should not encourage drug use but drug abuse should be seen as a health issue not a criminal one. People should not have to suffer because of past mistakes.

Drug addicts need to be put into rehab. We need more rehab centers to get these people off the streets and back to a semi normal life

There needs to be a set process of habitation and rehabilitation . Where they undergo a certain period of reintegration with the help of specialists. One of the most dehumanizing realities that we may face is homelessness. People want purpose in life, having no home or purpose demoralizes these people . Additionally, discrimination is a large player here as well. We tend to ignore their suffering while shunning their substance abuse, but it’s their way of coping and it should be understood as such. It’s hard to maintain a job without a set place to sleep and shower , it’s hard to maintain it with a drug addiction , and it’s hard to maintain it with the risk of being homeless once again in the near future.

Yes, but the use of the term "drug safe havens" is a loaded and politically charged term. the correct term is Supervised consumption site and services.

Yes, but there should be a limited amount of time they can access them, to encourage them to go clean
