Show Notes

Are safe injection sites good for public health? What is the line between harm reduction and drug normalization? Do people who inject drugs or use drugs prefer to go to a site or do they prefer use in the comforts of their residence wherever that is? Do safe injection sites decrease deaths? Do they connect people to treatment? Listen to Tom Wolf, a man with lived experience in injecting drugs, living on the streets, and a true understanding of what addiction is and what is takes to recover.
