Harm reduction saves lives by reducing overdoses, preventing disease, and connecting people to care. Abstinence-only fails substance users, with higher rates of illness, overdose, and relapse.

This is very sensible from #Polanski.
It is blindingly obvious to anyone who is paying the slightest bit of attention that the current drugs policy or prohibition doesn't work, and will never work.
You only need to look at what happened when they tried prohibition with alcohol in the US.
Good to see we have at least one politician with the courage and good sense to tell it like it is.

You don’t have to approve of substance use to support harm reduction. You just have to care whether people live or die.
Harm reduction is risk management, not endorsement.

This private clinic replaced a safe consumption site, which was working.
When it was shut down by Doug Ford, it moved in, and locals immediately began to protest the impact the clinic was having. It closed, only for an identical private clinic to open.
Safe consumption sites work. Private medicine does not. Ford is killing us.

My essay on US drug policy in June:
"[Trump’s policy framework] prioritises border security, law enforcement crackdowns, and frames drug use as primarily a criminal activity and terrorism linked threat, particularly emphasising opioid trafficking as a national emergency driven by foreign actors, notably Mexican cartels (The Whitehouse, 2025)."Today's news:
