A new coalition fighting drug addiction is urging President Biden to oppose controversial
government-licensed injection sites where junkies can shoot up — and instead provide addicts the
recovery treatment afforded his son, Hunter Biden.
The group
NorthAmericaRecovers.org — an umbrella organization consisting of 21 groups including Mothers Against Drug Addiction and Deaths — unveiled mobile digital ads in DC Monday with a photo of a mother of a homeless fentanyl addict saying, “Please Help My Son Escape Addiction the Way You Helped Hunter.”
New York City has two government-licensed, supervised consumption sites called
“overdose prevention centers.”
The group said other cities such as Philadelphia are seeking federal waivers from federal prohibition to operate sanctioned drug use sites.
The ads are aimed at persuading Biden and his Justice Department to reject “supervised drug consumption sites,” where taxpayer-funded healthcare workers assist anyone over 18 to inject or smoke fentanyl and other hard drugs. The goal of the consumption sites is to prevent drug overdose deaths.
The debate comes amid record
fentanyl-linkedoverdose deaths in New York City and across the country. The synthetic opioid is at least 50 times more powerful than morphine and flows into the states from the southern border.
