The report may be well-meaning, but it is not realistic in the nitazene era. It still assumes the crisis is about traditional heroin use. In fact, the drug market has moved on and become deadlier far faster than policy has. The report nods at overdose deaths and harm reduction measures, but it does not grapple with the nitazene threat. These drugs are so potent and unpredictable that no facility, fixed or mobile, can make their use “safe.” A single inhalation or injection can still be fatal. That makes the idea of supervised consumption rooms dangerously out of date at best they become little more than supervised poisoning. What people need is not more places to take drugs, but immediate access to detox, medication-assisted treatment, residential rehab, and long-term recovery. Harm reduction can only ever buy time, and nitazenes steal that time back in an instant.
