Give them all the drugs they want,
just don't try to deal with overdoses.
That is called "natural selection".

But then Cops and EMTs will arrive to administer Narcan.  In some areas, Narcan will be available OTC, meaning another homeless, social worker or good Samaritan would have access to administer it.  Maybe the user will even have some on hand for emergency use?

Lather, rinse and repeat.

According to drugs.com, Oahu has one source for free Narcan:

Hawai'i Health & Harm Reduction Center (formerly CHOW Project)
Call (808) 853-3273 or email lmaxera@hhhrc.org; , by appt only
677 Ala Moana Blvd, Suite 226
Honolulu

Quote
By appt only.To obtain Naloxone, ppl need to go through a short training and
obtain a participant card to show they've been trained. Group trainings available.
https://harmreduction.org/resource-center/harm-reduction-near-you/

https://www.hhhrc.org/overdose


I assume there are others, but this is all on that website.  They show one location on Kauai, Oahu and Maui, and 2 on Hawaii Island.

The form where you can make the request online asks "Why are you interested in becoming an opioid overdose responder?"
