Howard Husock : Two "overdose prevention centers" run by OnPoint NYC are located in Black and Hispanic neighborhoods.

He says the city should use its $50 million to send a clear message: drugs, from pot to fentanyl, are a safe choice.

Husock asks: Are the OnPoint Centers treating established addicts or encouraging new ones? He says it's too long to wait to learn more about a program that is neither legal under federal law nor certain to be beneficial.
