Euphemism of the week: ”Supervised Consumption Services”
I just got an email from the Drub Policy Alliance about San Francisco opening the first government sponsored Supervised Consumption Service (SCS) in the US. I like the idea but not the name. It doesn’t tell me anything about what an SCS actually is.
CNN has a story about them with a much clearer term: Safe injection sites in San Francisco could be first in the US
It’s possible that the bland euphemism “Supervised Consumption Services” makes it easier to get these things approved. People who think about drugs the way Jeff Sessions does might not notice them, at least not immediately. But once the drug fascists realize what’s going on, they’ll start screaming about “Taxpayer money wasted on government-sponsored shooting galleries.” I think that term in italics is a lot catchier than Supervised Consumption Serivces.
