Regarding safe drug use sites [“Families of OD victims press for safe sites,” Gazette, Jan. 26]: In 1977, my older brother, Allan, overdosed at age 33 in a trailer near Westover Air Force Base in Chicopee. I cannot help but think that if there had been a safe site for drug use at the time, he might still be alive.
Addiction is not a crime. It’s part of the human condition.
