Now Australian society is facing a huge problem, you may feel far away from you, but in fact it is right around!
The problem is-drug is already here!
This kind of news comes out endlessly, stimulates people's nerves, because how can you imagine that in a civilized Australia, there is even such a small town: even the children are addicted to drugs, and the parents are drug-trafficking and drug-making and drug-taking even more!
Suffering from poverty and drug, it is common for them to see their parents captured by the police.
But if you think it's just a remote town, it's a big mistake.
Even in a big city like Melbourne, for example, in a small area of North Richmond alone, about 20 people a year die from drug abuse and 34 die in 2017.
Look at big data: according to the survey, at least 1.3 million Australians over the age of 14 have used methamphetamine.
About 1/3 of these methamphetamine users then took drugs by injection.
What does such a high rate of drug use lead to? You must not think that as long as you are clean, you will be fine. Look at this first:
When a little boy was playing in the park, he suddenly felt stabbed by something, and found that he had actually used a needle!
What's this supposed to do? This kind of junkie used needles, who knows what's unclean on it, bacteria, AIDS. It's possible!
His parents can only take him to the hospital to examine, and then pray that he does not get any disease!
In addition, for ordinary people, especially for children, even if not directly hurt, there are too many indirect effects!
For example, seeing the injection scene of the addict, the needle being thrown away, the scene of the drug addiction attack, and even the death of the body because of the drug abuse. Absolutely is a great psychological shadow!
So in order to solve these problems to a certain extent, and to prevent more people from dying because of drug use, government decided to open a "safe injection room".
Safe injection rooms are places where drug users can safely use the drugs of their choice, where professionals can help drug users, such as providing clean and safe appliances, and then stop them from overdosing. Counseling them, helping them with corrections, and so on.
This is a "life-saving" way so that drug addicts can safely come and know that society has not given up on them, which is better than allowing them to mess around in residential areas.
Government's approach seems good, but residents don't seem to appreciate it: they are strongly opposed to setting up the safe injection room!
It turned out that the safe injection room was located very close to where they lived.
"isn't that a call for all the junkies to come to our backyard to do drugs?"
The thought that there will be so many drug addicts to use this facility can not help people worry, after all, they are only there to smoke drugs, not to be locked up, they will still have to come out after taking drugs. Who can guarantee that there will be no safety problems!
But in fact, government is also very aggrieved, ah, many of these drug addicts live here. Only when they are set up in residential areas can they use safe injection rooms as close as possible.
If you set up the injection room in a deserted place, which drug addict went off and used it?
Then someone came forward and said, what is the operating cost of a safe injection room? Is it necessary for you to use this money to "promote drug abuse"? Isn't it better to use the money to fight crime?
But in fact, this is really a very caring facility. Although the young man in the picture above has become addicted to drugs for a while, he is bent on trying to make a comeback.
Unfortunately, before he could get rid of the drug completely, he said goodbye to the world because of a drug addiction and an overdose of drug.
His mother confessed, "if he had gone to such a injection room, he would still be alive!"
Since drug abuse has already existed, we should not avoid talking about it. To set up such syringe disposal boxes and injection rooms is to minimize the second injury as far as possible, and everyone should be helped!
Of course, some people will think that this approach is too "white left", too "the Virgin Dame", but this is another endless discussion.
What about you? Will you support the establishment of a safe injection room?
