A recent study commissioned by Brighton and Hove city council recommended the opening of drug consumption rooms, places where people could inject drugs under medical supervision without fear of prosecution.

The aim is to lower the number of drug-related deaths in the city, a problem Brighton suffers with particularly, and reduce the amount of drug-taking on the street and the associated problems that it causes.

Critics however have suggested the policy would risk condoning illegal behaviour, will enable people to continue a poor lifestyle and places too much emphasis on harm reduction at the expense of care for users.

While this comes from a UK source, it appears to me to be a reasonable solution to the problems of illegal drug dealing, a way to increase government revenue, and keep dangerous addicts off the streets. These 'dens' are legal and common in Asiatic countries and might work for the West.
 
Ahh.. so a law free zone.. well, only for the things the lefties think are cool.. lets see how they feel when you open it up for legalized poisoning of drugs, theft, etc

If you provide governmental quality control at the lowest level, it would work just fine. It does in many, many places.

That is not saying it is an ideal alternative but it's certainly better than having drugged up jerks driving on our streets and highways.

As stated.. then open it up for all kinds of crime.. not just the cool druggie crime.. if someone wants to off a druggie, let it happen in the room.. someone wants to rape a penguin, let it happen in the room

These 'crime free zones' are about as ridiculous as the 'gun free zones'

Whoa there! NOTHING in this refers to a "crime-free zone!" :evil:

This is simply a report that, when addicts are urged to feed their addiction in "safe places", it reduces drug-related crimes and makes things safer for non-users.

:cool:

Which makes it a room or zone free from the persecution of that crime... and if you are gonna make it for one crime, why not all of 'em?? Not just the 'cool' ones??

How about making it legal not to pay your income taxes? Ya think any of them would go for that?
 
When I saw "consumption room for legal drug-taking", I thought to myself, "That sounds like a Carlinesque way of saying a bar."
