Prescribed heroin in Canada

[candy]

Canada's move to prescribe heroin treatment is a huge step forward.
I believe only about 120 people are authorized for treatment at this time and must attend at least 3 times a day.

If this program is successful, maybe then we will see these participants get take homes.
I would honestly prefer this type of program than buying it off the streets.
You have to go in 3 times a day, but it beats not being able to cop at all and not knowing what you're getting as well.

FUCK it's about time they make a smart move like this. I'll probvably be dead before we see this in the united states of corruption but it's a nice step in the right direction.


It's clear "the war on drugs" has failed miserably, MISERABLY, when you can go to any ghetto and buy crack, heroin and whatever else suits you, in any major city in the US, it's apparent the WoD failed. Let's step back and take a harm reduction approach, let's be more like Portugal, Switzerland, etc.

Better idea: Let's just get the fuck outta the US and MOVE to Portugal, Switzerland or a country with similarly progressive drug policies.

How's it a better idea to go to a country that already has a drug policy you like rather than trying to fight for a drug policy you like in a country you can speak the language of already, like canada? Cause I know I don't want to wait around for this to happen in the US but it may be possible for canada, the way they are going lately is hopeful, with vancouver's IV rooms and maybe those in other cities too?

Montreal recently got the okay for three safe sites.  There are 10 applications in the works for Canada.

Does anyone actually use the safe sites? Personally I think it would be a pain in the ass to go every 2 or 3 hours to shoot up.

I have used one quite a few times and they're really great. for when you score locally.
