An ongoing debate is being headed on whether or not this is simply enabling drug addiction rather than trying to provide a way for users to quit and rehabilitate individuals. \u201cWhen there is no accountability for drug addiction and crime, and, in fact, policies that encourage or promote it, common sense dictates you get more of it, not less.,\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Assembly GOP Leader James Gallagher had to say on the matter. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Regardless of data, numbers, or longitudinal studies on the success of the facility,<a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220SB57\"> California Senator Wiener is determined to bring this project statewide, promising similar drug injection centers in L.A. and Oakland<\/a>. Only 32% of San Francisco voters actually say they approve of a \u201csafe consumption\u201d site.
