I totally agree with what you say there Blinder, you're spot on, and I want to stop the DMC from profiting greatly from the loss of business to other local pharmacies. I also think a needle exchange would be better placed on the main road. However, I can't bring myself to support a cause based on "not in my back yard" politics. I'm sure a lot of people are against this for good reasons, but there are plenty who are against it, not because they really know anything about it, but simply because they don't want "that type of person on our streets". As an aside, I'm not sure this has been mentioned, as I couldn't handle reading this whole thread, but according to the petition, local pharmacies have agreed to take it in turns to stay open late.
