I'll give Amsterdam credit for not legally punishing drug users who need medical help, but it's not like the US doesn't offer warning when unsafe drugs are being sold[1]. Even as authorities await tests confirming heroin as the culprit in the latest deaths, the police and health departments are distributing fliers to community health and addiction service centers warning that “preliminary testing indicates that contaminated heroin may be available on the streets.” The fliers also list resources for patients and families struggling with addiction.
