For or against supervised drug consumption rooms?

The test question and the possible answers

Supervised drug consumption rooms are a good thing.

What's at stake: The debate pits harm reduction (overdoses, infections) against the fear of normalising drugs and anchoring dealing in a neighbourhood.

The left's argument

These rooms save lives, reduce infections and create a link with treatment.

The centre's argument

Only a few rooms, with medical follow-up and the agreement of local residents.

The right's argument

These rooms normalise drugs and draw dealing into the neighbourhood that hosts them.
