Supervised consumption sites have to be one of the only things where demonstrated demand - like, say, a lineup to get in - becomes an argument for closing them down. In reality, that should tell you that you need to be scaling up.
In rehab, I asked, if #addiction is a disease, why would the cure be religious/spiritual? Response: We weren't to "debate the book." I support 12-steps as one option, but push back on the false "it's the only way" or "it's a better way" narrative, because neither is true. #sober
