A Leader in the Movement

 

Canada remains at the forefront of Drug Reform with INSIGHT - Canada’s first Safe Injection/Intravenous Drug Facility.

 

Some cutting edge news came down a few weeks ago that I thought was just too important to miss and which none of us at LEAP Blogged about in detail…

 

Canada’s and the World’s first Safe Injection Site - INSITE - is being threatened once again with Government initiated closure and we as a Country - have stood up in protest!

 

Letters to Editors of local and National newspapers, demonstrations, meetings, conferences and the like are being attended all across our Nation in protest of the possible complete and final closure of this ground breaking Institution.

 

The people involved in the Drug Reform issues in North America are familiar with the “idea” of a safe injection site, but mainstream Society is afraid that such a place will create more and more addicts looking for their next free fix. This would not be the case I can assure you…. There was never an overdose on heroin until it became ILLEGAL.
