Yall ok with supervised injection-sites coming to your city soon?
We’re launching the nation’s first safe-injection site. We hope it will be one of many.
This month, a federal judge in Philadelphia
ruled that a supervised injection site that we co-founded is not illegal, opening the door for the first one to be established in the United States. We hope it will be one of many across the country.
In a well-reasoned 56-page
opinion, U.S. District Judge Gerald A. McHugh ruled that a supervised injection site, designed to combat the staggering death toll of opioid overdoses by allowing people to inject drugs under medical supervision, does not violate the “crack-house” section of the Controlled Substances Act because the site would be operated not “‘for the purpose of’ unlawful drug use” but to "save lives.”
