Officials in Multnomah County, Oregon, reversed course Monday on a plan to hand out “smoking supplies” to Portland’s fentanyl users, just days after the county intended to begin distributing the materials, according to a report.
Tin foil, straws and glass pipes will no longer be handed out to drug users in Oregon’s largest city following calls for delay by two members of the county’s five-person Board of Commissioners, according to the Willamette Week.
The plan was established to help fight the deadly consequences of heroin usage. But heroin, which typically is injected, has become less popular than fentanyl, which can be smoked, on Portland’s streets.
