The study, published this month in The Lancet, found a 67 per cent reduction in overdose deaths in neighbourhoods within 500 metres of supervised consumption sites after they opened. That reduction in mortality rippled as far as five kilometres from the sites.
Thank you for the TL;DR. Also great numbers there, might allow other cities to get these started. I would love to see more money also put into public mental health as well, one step at a time.
