In the wake of the surge in ODs, we need them now more than ever.https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/Philadelphia-case-could-clear-the-way-for-safe-15728969.php …

Can you say more about why safe injection sites help? I have a hard time imagining how this works. We have 25k intravenous drug users here. Is the idea they go there to use? Don't most want to use with friends?

Staff with Narcan reduce OD death. Using on the street can make you a victim of crime and harassment. Sites are actually "safe". Needles stay onsite, not dropped on the street. Can offer treatment the moment people are ready to receive it.
