And distribute them widely and freely, along with naloxone.

Most people just want to use, they don't want to die. If there was a way to just put a tiny smidge from a bag you just bought onto like a test strip and see red/yellow/green color appear? Something that simple could save 1000's a year in big cities I bet. Doesn't seem impossible offhand ...

Supervised sites seems like a good idea too but I doubt many people come unless you make it like in the UK where you can actually get Rx Heroin from the site ... think you just have to register as an addict, but someone from the UK would likely know more than I.
