Before that kind of showdown happens, at least two major issues must be overcome. First, columnist Solomon Jones has written that the push for these sites is driven by the fact that the lion's share of overdose victims are white. In a recent column, he called these sites "glorified drug houses for addicts" and contrasted this benevolent approach to what minorities faced during the crack cocaine era. I think his view has significant support and will make it much harder to get the public behind this site.
