DETER OR ENCOURAGE?

So-called experts want overdose prevention sites set up to protect
druggies from themselves. Temporary and short-term they say; about as
short-term as income tax, which was said to be a temporary measure.

Rather than deterring drug habit, it seems like it's being encouraged.
Maybe the consequences should not be removed.

How many front-line medical personnel and how many precious health
dollars are being eaten up, depriving more deserving and legitimate
health sufferers timely and proper attention?
