Washington’s Substance Use Recovery Services Advisory Committee, or SURSAC, is distancing itself from recent recommendations made by a subset work group that included having the state set up a “buyers club” to ensure a ”safer supply” of illegal drugs for addicts.
SURSAC was created via legislation in 2021 to provide suggestions to lawmakers regarding substance use policy and treatment options.
In 2023, SURSAC released the Substance Use and Recovery Services Plan, which included forming a statewide work group to explore a framework for safe supply, rather than the more dangerous illicit street market for hard drugs.
As reported by The Center Square, the Safe Supply Workgroup provided its recommendations on June 13, one of which was the concept of a “buyers club” for drugs like fentanyl and heroin.
The group also suggested the state set up “supervised consumption” sites where drugs are prescribed and administered in a supervised setting, prescribing and dispensing drugs to users who can administer them outside of a supervised setting, and making drugs like cannabis available without a prescription in dispensaries and shops.
