      I work on the medical side of addiction treatment. Not doxxing myself and you can choose to believe what you would like but I see this policy as an absolute failure of duty to our youth and young adults.

        Didn’t ask you to doxx yourself bud. I’m asking if you have direct experience with Vancouver specifically.

          I dont work in Vancouver but work with partnered organizations with reports from the public nursing teams in that area and the harm reduction programs.

            Fair enough. But just from a different point of view, when I was 18 I injured my shoulder at work, quite severely. I went the Emerg, at Vancouver General, and instead of being given what I would consider treatment of an appropriate kind. I was handed a packet of 40 hydromorphine. I’d say the issue is a bit more widespread than just with the harm reduction system.
            That aside, thanks for your insights into the issues with harm reduction sites. I hadn’t known that side of it, and that’s quite disheartening.
