🧵Let's be real — bars are #SupervisedConsumptionSites. When people aren't alone, know what's in the substances they're consuming, & have someone to look out for them & respond if they've had too much for their system, lives are saved.

guyfelicella @guyfelicella If you drink at a bar or restaurant then you're using a supervised consumption site (SCS). Luckily you are also accessing a safe, regulated supply. Don't point fingers at people who use their drugs at the other one. Alcohol is a drug
Infographics explaining supervise consumption sites the benefit of them to people use drugs and some of the many benefits to the community
Study find cracked pipe sharing is rampant among street involved use in Vancouver sharing crack pipe is a risky drug use practice and risk spreading hepatitis C other infectious diseases
88% of the street youth in the study reported that they shared crack pipes Only 5% of youth reported getting sterile Krack pipes from healthcare centers. There is a need for more youth focussed harm reduction services as crack, pipe distribution and places with they feel comfortable and safe distributing crack pipes to public health services may provide important opportunities to engage with young Krack smokers and connect them with critical medical care and treatment.
#TeamEvil Rep. Nicole Malliotakis wants more dead drug users and more brain damaged ones from poisoned drug supply overdoses
She wants more of the public infected with AIDS, and Hepatitis C & drug users via shared needles and crack pipes
by killing off #SupervisedConsumptionSites & #HarmReduction
In other words, we are REALLY looking forward to watching Episode 2: The People v. Ontario, regarding Ford's closures of SCS in your province.
Ontario, we stand with you.
We will not stop fighting.
Let's take this one to the top.
