How will it enable more pure drugs ? [ I assume they already have a clean needle program - most places have] - thre is no mention of support network or doctors on sites. The Portuguese model works-ish because the users are persuaded to join a rehab. Once they are in rehab - they cannot leave/just sign themselves out

It works in Portugal because it’s a small country. Portland decriminalized hard drugs and there’s open drug use all over. It’s gotten significantly worse, and people flock here because they won’t get arrested. It’s only works if actual rehab and mental health facilities are available

Well they would have to supply it. IIRC Switzerland saw success with treatments like this, but Im not well versed in the details.
