Switzerland, which offers heroin addicts access to clinics with clean needles and pure heroin as part of drug treatment services, as examples to emulate.

I don't think Swiss "needle parks" are anything to emulate. Still, I favor decriminalization.

They're not referring to Needle Park, which Switzerland quickly abandoned; it's obvious that legalizing in a single small area will concentrate sale and use in that small area, with all the predictable harms.
