VANCOUVER - A new report issued today is painting a bleak picture of the long-term success of vancouver's supervised safe injection site.
The report published in the Journal of Global Drug Policy and Practice is being touted by the drug prevention network of canada -- a group long opposed to the safe injection site.
The report notes some serious problems in the reporting and interpretation of findings from the safe injection site.
Group spokesperson, Randy White says in other words, the expensive harm reduction program currently in place just isn't working.
White also says funds should instead be going into badly needed drug treatment and prevention programs.
