That has nothing to do with drug policy, and is common in many places around the world.

Drugs are criminalised here and it still happens. Safe injecting room actually means less of this stuff on the streets round my house.

If BC will recriminalize "use in public spaces", presumably means injection rooms can remain. Best of both worlds?

True.

Having read the article I am interested in what the penalty would be. If you can’t do it with a civil penalty then criminal proceedings make sense I guess.

This is correct, I mentioned it more as a scene setting mechanism. A quiet alleyway with a wall you can’t climb over at the end. Seems like a nice quiet place to shoot up.
