City of Brotherly Love needs tough love — not ‘safe’ drug use — to free it from scourge of tranq

Last week I described how easy it is to get the most lethal drugs on the streets of New York.

And how “safe-use” sites had become magnets for dealers and addicts.

Such sites are fought over. Do they help addicts use safely? Or do they normalize lethal behavior?

I went to the streets of another East Coast city to find out.

The first time I went to Philadelphia, some 20 years ago, the city was a proud place. Today it is not only crime-ridden, but drug-ridden.

And in one area in particular it is absolutely swimming in drugs and the misery and the almost unfathomable misery they bring in their wake.
