SAVING THIS LIFE
Health Minister Tony Clement opines that "supervised injection is not
medicine -- it does not heal the person addicted to drugs." Many
Canadians will take the opinion of medical professionals over this.
Insite functions as a mid-point to recovery, and must be permanently
exempted from the drug act so it can continue to do so. I credit harm
reduction with saving my life -- a life I deserve to have.
