Legalising drugs!! I KNOW!!! What a ridiculous proposal--unless you know the whole story.
The Greens certainly support legalising of drugs, but only for existing addicts. If a druggo's cravings are satisfied at legal injection rooms (rehab where possible), it would help lower drug-related crimes. Also, addicts are more likely to die from swapping needles with other diseased addicts, or injecting fakes and dangerous impurities they bought off the black market. Whereas proper injection rooms would help prevent that, while buying the addicts some time and giving them ready-access to rehab options.
