A Barnstable County Commissioner and a Falmouth State Rep are at odds over Safe Injection Sites.
Commissioner Ron Beaty says the state and the country are in the middle of a drug war and creating what he called “shooting up galleries” is not the way to do it.
The Commissioner tells The Boston University News Service that drug users should be punished.
State Rep Dylan Fernandez tells the News Service that Vancouver has seen dramatic decreases in drug activity because of those sites.
Two bills on the issue are due out of committee by February of next year.
