Philadelphia nonprofit's plan to open a safe-injection site, where drug users can inject under medical supervision, does not violate federal drug laws, a federal judge rules.
A Philadelphia nonprofit's plan to open a safe-injection site, where drug users can inject under medical supervision, does not violate federal drug laws, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.
"It's a hugely important ruling for us here in Philadelphia," said Ed Rendell, former Philadelphia mayor and Pennsylvania governor, as well as a Safehouse board member. For his part, Rendell stressed that Safehouse was just one part of a larger, multi-pronged strategy to stem the opioid epidemic. "Before they can get the supervised injection to take place, they have to listen to social workers talking about treatment options. We can persuade a significant number of them to go seek treatment," he said."It's worth it. It's worth it big time."
