Any clinic is going to offer information or pathways for rehab. My belief is that this would be an affirmative step compared to back alley shooting galleries.

It's opinion, but I think it's based on truth.

I actually reworded my response above. It is possible that some treatment facilities could offer this, if they could provide the intended medical intervention, but that isn't what the proposal is about. It's a no-strings-attached offer to watch you shoot up and attempt to help you if you OD.

And honestly, reading the article, it doesn't even say that the substance will be controlled or dispensed by the clinic. The wording makes it legal for them to allow you to use on the premises, not for them to provide it. So you don't even eliminate street drugs from the cycle.

Your idea might have merit, but I don't see much merit in their proposal, honestly.

Supervised use without supplying and controlling is 100% useless and serves no purpose. There is no incentive for a user to use that type of facility and it makes no sense.

We've spent a trillion on thewar on drugs and it's a failure. It's time to consider alternatives.
