REPLAY ~ Supervised Injection Sites with Vancouver Insite

Indigo Radio

This week Vermont Gov. Phil Scott vetoed a bill aimed at stemming the state’s overdose crisis. The bill was a way to explore supervised consumption or injection sites. Those sites would allow people to consume drugs under medical supervision to prevent an overdose. Scott says this is not the right strategy for Vermont. 💥REPLAY 💥 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.
