Democrats just won't give up on "safe injection sites"...

At the Aug 30th meeting of the Opioid and Other Substance Use Disorders Study Committee, the majority Democrats voted to send another bill for drafting to revisit allowing places where people could legally come in and shoot up (or, presumably, pipe up) with whatever poison suits their fancy.
