The funding may be used to distribute overdose-reversal meds, provide education and expand syringe services programs, among other things.
The Spin
Right narrative
This is a case of knowing "the price of everything and the value of nothing". The government is subsidizing drug addiction and will only entice more people into usage.
Left narrative
This is part of a preventative, not enabling campaign. It's the first step in creating safer communities with fewer people dependant on illicit substances.
