Supervised drug consumption site in Prince George expanding to support substance users who smoke their drugs


A supervised drug consumption site in northern British Columbia is expanding this spring to accommodate substance users who inhale, rather than inject, their drugs says the head of the group spearheading the project. "In the last few years, we've seen a huge shift among substance users in their preferred method," said Harris, speaking Thursday on CBC's Daybreak North. Fentanyl was detected in more than 80 per cent of drug overdose deaths in B.C. Harris said the society is working with the City of Prince George and Northern Health to develop a monitored outdoor smoking space.
