This is great. I hope they add more harm reduction mechanisms for drug users. I would also like to see safe injection sites, safety testing, and even sanctioned sale of doses if it mean less deaths.

All of that depends on the state actually sending out funding as outlined in measure 110 though. Instead they seem to believe that treating people with a disease as criminals is more important than actually getting them the help they need. I hope this program helps counteract that.
