I agree with the CA policy. Might save a few lives.
might save a few lifes. might not.
also costs taxpayers a lot of money. Police, Fire and EMS Response to overdoses. Then if they don't have insurance (strong likelihood) they get free treatment at the ER till they can sustain their own life without support (paraphrased so it may not be completely accurate but it's the gist). All on the taxpayer's dime. lots of taxpayer's money spent. if you're going to be doing illegal drugs it should not be the responsibility of the taxpayer's to support your habit (ER Visits, 911 response, etc). Also these individuals can very easily be 'frequent flyers'. so they often get taken to the ER and or get 911 response. Will more addicts die? probably, but I think thinning of the herd is a good thing especially in today's day and age.
