You cant get a job if you’re on drugs so if we want to help out the homeless systemically we cant be giving them needlesYou know jobs exist that don’t require drug screenings right? Also, this isn’t about getting people jobs it’s about preventing preventable death, pathways to treatment, and lowering the financial burden on the healthcare system. There is quite literally zero downsides to these programs and you have absolutely zero evidence to support your claims. Meanwhile, there’s decades of research contradicting you.
My sister works at a private equity firm in NYC at the top of a famous sky scraper and they don’t require drug tests. Shit, half of them are on coke and they have sharps disposal containers in the bathroom cause plenty of them use meth, peptides, steroids, etc. Drugs use is not exclusive to the homeless. Billions of dollars flow through her firm and over 50% of them are injecting themselves with shit every other day.
