Christy Clark told reporters on Monday she believes pop-up injection sites are a band-aid solution to the opioid crisis and said: "My focus is saying first of all, you shouldn't do drugs." MacPherson said if government officials understood just how dire the situation is they'd be putting up pop-up injection sites themselves. He also attended the summit and said the focus was more on prescription opioid abuse rather than illicit drug abuse. There was no sense of urgency and that's what the [pop-up supervised injection] tents are about," said MacPherson. In 2000, the City of Vancouver released this controversial paper that proposed opening up supervised injection sites.
