SAFE-INGESTING ROOMS

How prescient of National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre researcher Jo
Kimber to observe that the feeling in most supervised safe injecting rooms
in Europe is "positive rather than negative" (Features, 25/2). Much the
same has been true of supervised safe-ingesting rooms in Australia for
decades, only we call them pubs.
