USA. Safer Consumption Spaces: Three Underground Models
“For years, the idea of a safe consumption space captivated the imagination of drug users everywhere,” says Isaac Jackson, president of the San Francisco chapter of the Urban Survivors Union. “It was like the promised land. A place where we would take care of each other and no one would get busted or get sick or die from an overdose. I hope folks aren’t going to get too disappointed when they finally open.” (Filter, USA, 18.10.2018)
USA. Safe-injection legal battle brewing in SF — health intervention or drug den?
If Gov. Jerry Brown goes along, San Francisco plans to establish what could be the nation’s first legal, supervised safe injection site for drug users. But there’s a potentially serious legal obstacle: a 3-decade-old federal law that was directed at shutting down dens of crack cocaine dealers and users. (San Francisco Chronicle, 03.09.2018)

The options U.S. Attorney William McSwain described offered the most concrete outline yet of the federal government’s potential response should the proposal’s backers move forward on a supervised drug-injections site.
(...) “Nobody is above the law — and by that I mean nobody,” McSwain said. “I mean the leaders who would be involved in setting up this proposed deadly drug-injection site, the board members … the city officials who would be involved in supporting it, the medical personnel who might be staffing it or the folks who might be using the drugs.”(Seattle Times, USA, 13.10.2018)

USA. San Francisco mayor weighs drug injection site despite veto
SAN FRANCISCO—A veto by California Gov. Jerry Brown blocking a supervised drug injection site in San Francisco has left the mayor deciding whether to go it alone on the issue.
Driven in part by a family tragedy, Mayor London Breed has long pledged to open what could be the first such site in the country to provide space for people to inject drugs and a “chill” room where they could recover. (The Star, Kanada, 02.10.2018)

USA. California's Jerry Brown rejects supervised drug injection plan
California Gov. Jerry Brown rejected legislation on Sunday that would have allowed San Francisco to open what could be the nation's first supervised drug injection site under a pilot program. Advocates of "safe injection" sites say the locations would save lives by preventing drug overdoses and providing access to counseling.
But the U.S. government and other critics say taxpayers should not be helping users shoot up heroin, methamphetamine or other illegal drugs. (CBS News, USA, 01.10.2018)

Support increases when opioid 'safe consumption sites' called 'overdose prevention sites'

USA. Special Response: Over 100 Researchers and Practitioners Respond to Rod Rosenstein on Safe Injection Sites
In response to the current opioid crisis a number of cities in the United States are considering establishing safe injection sites for users of heroin and other illegal drugs. This is not a new idea. Cities in Canada and Europe currently have them, including a successful program in Vancouver. Safe injection sites provide a place for people to inject illicit drugs under medical supervision. In addition to a clean and warm space, they typically offer sterile injecting equipment and basic healthcare. Many also provide referrals to treatment, housing and other services. Critically, all safe injection sites include trained staff to respond to overdose, leading many experts to refer to them as “overdose prevention sites,” to better reflect this core aim.

Karlsruhe. Diakonie eröffnet ersten Alkoholkonsumraum für Suchtkranke
Karlsruhe – Der landesweit erste Alkoholkonsumraum für Suchtkranke ist heute in Karlsruhe eröffnet worden. In dem „Alkohol Akzeptierenden Aufenthaltsraum“ der Diakonie – so der offizielle Name – können Betroffene selbst mitgebrachtes Bier oder Wein trinken, aber nichts Hochprozentiges wie Schnaps. Zudem können Betroffene mit Sozialarbeitern sprechen. Die Örtlichkeit ist, zusammen mit dem vom nächstem Jahr an ebenfalls in Karlsruhe geplanten ersten Drogenkonsumraum im Südwesten, Teil des Konzepts zur Entschärfung der Situation am Karlsruher Werderplatz.
