Unsafe use sites already exist. They are all around you whether you are aware or not. That’s where the thousands of people die each year from entirely preventable causes.
Opposing safe/supervised use centers doesn’t deter or reduce drug use. It just perpetuates preventable deaths.

All I want for Christmas is…to educate people about whether their holiday decorations are poisonous or not.
Can you eat a poinsettia salad?
Should you really be open-mouth kissing under the mistletoe?
Which holly tea is my favorite?
(Maybe they’re actually just venomous 😉)

Urine drug screens are some of the most inaccurate tests in medicine, that even healthcare professionals frequently misinterpret or just don’t understand.
Yet we let nonmedical/nonscientific people in politics and law enforcement use them to punish people and even take children from their mothers.
