Baltimore mayor wants supervised drug injection site in city to limit overdoses

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott announced his intentions to bring a supervised drug injection site to his city during his second term as a way to limit overdoses.

Scott told local media affiliates of his desire to bring such a site to Charm City after visiting a location in New York City that provided addicted drug users a controlled and monitored area to use illegal drugs. Scott supported the program’s ideals and touted that it was an effective model of what he hoped would eventually be built in Baltimore, according to reports.
