Harm reduction is the future

I really appreciate the fact that more people are able to have a conversation about harm reduction and understanding that the current war on drugs only increases the preventable deaths and diseases. Harm Reduction is meeting people where there at and allowing the participants to take the lead on making the best practical decisions for themselves while providing them with the knowledge on safe use and continuing to provide them with compassion, dignity and respect.
