Massachusetts is considering joining RI with a pilot program of supervised drug injection sites. Today, Beacon Hill lawmakers will discuss the bills. One would create a 10-year pilot program in Massachusetts “establishing two or more supervised consumption sites that utilize harm reduction tools, including clinical monitoring of the consumption of pre-obtained controlled substances in the presence of trained staff, for the purpose of reducing the risks of disease transmission and preventing overdose deaths.” Supporters say the sites will reduce opioid deaths, curb the transmission to disease, and allow clinicians to better access addicts with the hope of getting them in to rehab. Do you think this is compassionate or enabling. Vote in the poll below.
