Shit's been like that in Portland for more than 30 years. I was travelling through Portland in the early 80s and it was exactly the same.

You need to get to the bottom of why are people using in the first place and address that. Symptomatic approaches are just re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

Have you read William Burroughs' Naked Lunch? In the Grove Press edition, there is an appendix with an essay by Burroughs in which he explains the nature of addiction in general and the problem with trying to control drug use by enacting laws and going after dealers.
