Have you personally observed it, or are these stories you've heard? Beware of the latter - people love to spread this stuff around. It's like a drug, and more poisonous to the community.

I've seen that myself, and not just one time. Our bus _drivers_ were protesting having to inhale the meth and fentanyl smoke.

The response of the city was that it's perfectly fine, and that the research shows that it's safe. I kid you not: https://komonews.com/news/local/drug-addiction-opioid-king-c...

I'm no longer using buses in Seattle, partially because of this.
