Court rules in favor of injection site

~ Jason Schwartz

A Canadian court ruled that the Canadian goverment’s prohibition of injection centers is unconstitutional.

There has been a great deal of passion and energy spent on both sides; the Feds trying to shut down the injection site, and the local goverment and researchers defending it. It would be nice to see everyone involved put a little of that energy into trying to help these addicts recover.
