One upstate New York city is planning an unconventional approach to combating a growing heroin epidemic: Letting addicts shoot up on government property under the supervision of medical professionals.

Ithaca Mayor Svante Myrick unveiled his controversial proposal to open a supervised injection facility during an interview with The Associated Press released Monday. The facility would provide a space for users to inject pre-purchased drugs with clean needles under the watchful eye of healthcare professionals who could, in theory, keep them safe and direct them to addiction services.


quote:

While drugs themselves wouldn’t be sold at an injection facility, they would be openly carried and used there, and staff would assist in the use of them. That immediately puts facilities in the crosshairs of the federal government. Title 21 of the Controlled Substances Act specifically addresses “maintaining drug-involved premises” as being “unlawful.”

It is about time somebody decided to open one in the US. They make drug use safer and according to the EU's research

There is no evidence that consumption rooms encourage increased drug use or initiate new

Well, someone watched The Wire and realized a controlled drug using area is the answer!

so the state will arrest you for purchase, possession, and/or sale UNLESS you are on the property of said state facility that, well, facilitates the use? and we can't do this for weed, but we can do it for fricking heroine?

it isn't, but when doctors are working in state run facilities that are paid for by tax payers that probably AREN'T using heroine....that may not be so well received. and, their job is to make sure they kill themselves as slowly as possible. so there is that too.

Bigger problem is them throwing their needles all over the place.

Even better, they can seize any nice car or anything expensive that even looks at the house.

Because they'll rob and break into a lot of houses, and possibly commit violent crimes before they go about killing themselves. Plus it could very easily happen to a family member of yours.
