Dr. David Juurlink is a strong supporter of harm reduction and has spoken out on the need to address drugs in society as a health, rather than a criminal, issue. He has called on the government to consider the regulation and control of all drugs.  Check out his views in this brief CBC interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE1MpBymRNM

 

Here are links to the three articles Dr. Juurlink recommended, below:

Let us not waste our time in idle discourse!  Let's do something, while we have the chance!  It's not every day that we are needed.  Let us make the most of it before it is too late.
