Safe injection clinics coming to Quebec

Heroin and SyringeDrug addicts in Quebec will soon have safe places to shoot up.

This comes after a recent supreme court ruling that helped save Vancouver’s safe injection clinic. Quebec’s Health Minister is in favour of the decision.

He says Vancouver’s victory removed the last obstacle holding back Quebec from opening this type of clinic. The supreme court has also ruled to protect safe injection site staff.

Saying they should be exempt from prosecution for drug possession and trafficking. Two Quebec organisations have already jumped on the chance to start up clinics of their own. And could be opening their doors in the next few months in Montreal and Quebec City.
