Maryland, don't experiment with drug consumption sites.  In Seattle/King County in Washington State, King County Public Health officials have decided to make drug taking a priority with the goal of saving people as they overdose.  Problem: In King County, 23,000 IV drug users inject 69,000 times per day. One drug consumption site is expected to monitor 200 injections per day (0.3% of total injections). Therefore the vast majority of drug consumption (and overdoses) would take place outside these sites.  SAY NO to drug consumption sites.
