How is such a ruling possible?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely with you that there should be places for supervised drug consumption, as well as safe supply.

I just don't understand how restricting drug use on playgrounds harms anybody, it's got only positives that I can see. I would even go as far as saying that allowing drug use on playgrounds is harmful to drug users, because it encourages conflict with the public.

I'm not saying it should be allowed, just that it shouldn't be banned until they have proper safe places to go because banning it now would do more harm than good.
