The future of Vancouver's safe-injection site was under a legal debate from past few months. The case related to the closing of safe drug site was filed in the Supreme Court of Canada by its protestors.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court of Canada, Justice Marshall Rothstein said that allowing the Vancouver's safe-injection site to operate could give rise to the existence of similar facilities in the state.
The safe-injection site provides a place to drug addicts to inject drugs using sterile needles under a nurse's supervision. Supporters of the site believe that it has helped in reducing the number of deaths due to drug overdose. These sites were operating under the exemption given by the Federal Government.
Previous researches have claimed that the safe injections sites in general contain the spread of HIV/ AIDS, reduce public disorder and help addicts enter detox and other treatment.
The fate of his site is unclear since the federal government refused to renew a Health Canada exemption that permitted the facility to operate under the drug laws.
