Comment on UK's First Consumption Room Given Go Ahead.

The consumption room plan is supported by Scottish National Party, Labour and Liberal Democrat politicians but the UK Home Office insists “there is no safe way to take illegal drugs”.
There is no ideal way. Drugs are dangerous, but people take them. I am disappointed by the resistance to legalise drugs. While drugs are illegal, they are unmonitored. I don’t take drugs myself. I don’t even drink anymore

One of the reasons illegal drugs are as dangerous as they are is because they are illegal. Their illicit nature means they are manufactured and distributed without any proper oversight or regulation, leading to dangerous lack of quality control.
If recreational drugs could be purchased with proper standards for purity, dosage etc they would be much safer for their users.

Social conservatives (inc. parts of the PLP): And that would be a bad thing. Drug consumption is a moral failure and should be punished by poverty, humiliation and death.
