i wonder what rules/security is in these places? Do people have to go in one at a time, what if they start sharing/using in the lobby for wherever it is? Do they provide name/date of birth etc before going in? Do they just show up or do they have to make an appointment? How cautious are the professionals…. At what point are they calling an ambulance if someone starts being unwell.
I’m no expert, so would continuing to take things like heroin, even managed doses, still lead to health problems?

They can still be prosecuted for buying them I suppose. And now the police have an easy way of finding out who they all are….
Yet the UK wont even legalize dopaminergic meds for mental health, only for smoking cessation and ADHD.
Its not the first – my friend Jeff’s first apartment was widely regarded as a drug consumption room.
