Colorado lawmakers will consider a bill that could pave the way for sites where people could inject drugs without fear of arrest or fear of overdosing
DENVER – .
The bill describes the sites as “a space for individuals to use previously obtained controlled substances in a monitored setting under the supervision of health-care professionals or other trained staff for the purpose of providing life-saving treatment in the event of a potential overdose.” Epps said she was not available to talk about the bill on Sunday and attempts to reach the other primary sponsors of the bill were unsuccessful.
The Scripps national news team got access into a supervised injection site in Toronto, Canada, which opened in 2017.
