Portland will soon begin handing out aluminum foil and straws to fentanyl smokers in the latest attempt at ‘harm reduction’ in the drug-ridden Oregon city.
Officials with the Multnomah County Health Department confirmed the controversial plan to local outlets saying they will also hand out glass pipes and snorting kits.
Health director Jessica Guernsey said they have seen a ‘shift from injection drug use’ and the new handouts will help to engage those who ‘may not otherwise.’
