I mean I agree but it’s hard to argue that we’re being punitive by not dedicating a safe space wherein to do drugs. The punitive stuff is everything else.

I would argue that this is very much in line with the punitive approach of criminalisation, it comes from the same feelings of revulsion and delusions of moral superiority as criminalisation. It’s simply another form of punishment: unnecessary, forced suffering.

Yes I agree it’s “in line with the punitive approach” but in itself more of an omission of beneficial services than a punishment.
