As a psychologist I believe that harm reduction may have some benefits when coupled with appropriate medical and psychological treatment, along with other forms of care and assistance.
However, an unfortunate consequence of some harm reduction efforts is that they aid, abet and support ongoing addiction and can even lead to increased addiction.
The goal ought to be to end drug consumption, not to condone, encourage, assist and prolong it.
Harm reduction makes no sense unless it is accompanied by treatment and extensive efforts to end addiction, all of which will cost many billions of dollars per year to implement on a nation-wide scale.
The cost of not eliminating drug use and addiction will be even greater.
