What if we gave drug users a clean, safe place to use? out of the alleys and off the streets? Could that be the first rung on the ladder to recovery? Or would we be creating magnets for drug-related crime? Guests: Liz Evans, co-founder of Vancouver’s InSite, the first supervised consumption site in North America; Linda Rosenthal, New York State assemblywoman representing the 67th district in Manhattan; Patricia Sully a staff attorney for the Public Defender Association and coordinator of VOCAL Washington; and Washington State Senator Mark Miloscia, who’s trying to block the opening of such sites in his state.
