You are right. Throwing clean syringes at addicts has resulted in more overdoses. Your policy didn’t work. Time to get back to basics and get them into treatment.
As drug overdose deaths continue to rise, we need the CDC to better support forensic medicine. This is a public health crisis, and we need all the overdose data we can get to better understand treatment, addiction and the effectiveness of our response.https://www.feinstein.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?ID=54BBA617-6AAE-4508-9613-7FAC995710E0 …

There is no data to support such a claim. Hard reduction programs are in place to prevent the spread of disease. If an addict can't get a clean needle they will use a dirty one. They won't just stop using which is what your logic suggests.

Here is a concept. Instead of collecting autopsy data. How about going after big pharma and drug smugglers. For Christ sake stop the autopsies!

The CDC gets their data from individual states. Clean CDC data relies on so many variables. We should always be somewhat skeptical of their recommendations. I say this as a researcher that reports data to CDC. If I give them crap they share the crap.

Because you are all in bed with the pharmaceutical industry. Take drug commercials off TV.
