Clarence, you've got a question.

Clarence, you've got a question.

Eddie, one of the things that you've mentioned in the course of the conversation so far is paraphernalia and residue. Okay. So could you clarify for the audience exactly what you mean by paraphernalia, what you mean by residue?

That's a good clarification.

That's a good clarification.

So let me let me ask this question is is, you know, with this legislation and Rhonda, I'll let you kind of lead the discussion around the the actual legislation a little bit here. But how do you know I'm kind of dealing with the question at the end here, but how do you know if a law like this. is really going to make a difference?

But how do you know I'm kind of dealing with the question at the end here, but how do you know if a law like this. is really going to make a difference?

Is there a measurement, you know, for those of us in public health, we always like to measure things to make sure that, you know, we're making a difference one way or the other. Is there a way that we're going to be doing that? And if so, who is responsible for that measurement?

Or on the other hand, don't we care about the measurement just so as long as we have some kind of law in effect that people know will decrease stigma?

So, all right. Let's talk about the law. So, you know, from a personal perspective, you know, Pearl, can you start talking about the implications that a law like this has from your perspective? And then, Eddie, maybe you can get into the actual logistics of the law itself.

Absolutely. So. All right. So help help me distinguish the the Steve. Rumler Hope legislation, which is really a form of a Good Samaritan law, I think. And if indeed it is, how does it differ in and of itself from the regular, the other Good Samaritan laws that are in effect?

So here's a question I have. And Eddie, I alluded to this before we got on the show, is, okay, so this law is in effect in... Minnesota. First, are there other states that have it in effect? And what do people do when they cross a border? Okay, so like, let's say somebody goes from Minnesota, where there is a law into, let's just say, Wisconsin, for instance, that might not have a law.
