We replay our show on Supervised Injection Sites, harm reduction & addiction. We air an interview with Carrie Stefanson from Vancouver Coastal Health about Insite - the supervised injection site in Vancouver operating since 2003. We also discuss the ongoing discussion in Windham Co. around opioid-related deaths, poverty, and the conditions of people's lives that lead to addiction.
