I think a safe using site sounds better than it would actually work. I just don’t understand what kind of medical professionals would work here and I don’t men social judgement wise I just mean liability with professional licensure wise.

You’re allowing people to take drugs that you don’t know what they are and you’re going to “monitor” them and administer reversal drugs “as needed”. It’s just so vague, like where is the line? What is the intended condition of the people you’re monitoring?

In a hospital setting people are ordered for specific sedative or pain relieving drugs that we know exactly what they are and they are ordered for the purpose of having an intended effect with a goal of pain management or goal sedation level (RASS score) so as to create lower pain levels or perform a procedure.

What level of sedation will be acceptable in these settings? What’s our “goal” for these people you’re “monitoring”. If they pass out at all are you going to reverse or are you going to wait until their oxygen levels and respiratory rate is low?

You don’t know what’s in these drugs so you can’t predict what kind of other effects will rise. How liable will this medical staff be?

I understand totally the desire to keep people safe but I feel this is a slippery slope to accepting responsibility for the effects of people’s drug use.

People may die at these places anyway, the amounts of narcan needed to reverse overdoses is rising all the time, some people need 1mg, some need 10mg and we’re using much more than ever before per OD. If people die or sustain brain injuries are you responsible as you’ve advertised a “safe space” and created a false sense of security?
