US will fund study of safe injection sites despite pushback MedicalNews
A grant of more than $5 million over 4 years will go to New York University and Brown University in Providence, RI, to study 1,000 people at New York's two sites, along with one set to open in Providence next year.
Opponents include the International Association of Chiefs of Police, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro , and former U.S. attorney for Colorado Jason Dunn. Some argue that giving the green light to a study of illicit drug use "If the Biden administration wants to fund a study of illegal activity, it should be honest about it and ask Congress to change the law," said Paul Larkin, a senior legal research fellow at conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation.
Proponents also say having designated spaces for people struggling with addiction cuts down on public drug use and litter like used needles.
