If you want to end illegal drug use, you shouldn’t pay people to use drugs.

But that’s exactly what this government is doing.

Every year, the government spends millions of dollars on costly and counterproductive drug consumption sites. These sites encourage addicts to put off recovery. They drag chaos and disorder into communities. And they don’t work. Drug deaths have risen tenfold since the first site opened in 2003.

Loopholes currently allow people to claim disability payments simply because they have a drug habit. This money is earned by taxpayers, and it belongs to people with genuine physical and mental disabilities.

Sign the petition for legislation to close these sites and redirect funding to recovery.
