Harm reduction gone rogue: I worked at a safe injection site and it was disturbing

‘I thought I would help people but instead found myself battling drug dealers, overdosing colleagues, neighbourhood theft and inept management’

I fought as best I could to keep drug dealers away from the supervised injection site I worked at, but it was a battle that came with a price. The threats could be terrifying.

One dealer I had kicked out of the facility came up to me outside and tried to pull my COVID mask off. He said he wanted to take a picture of me on his phone so his boss could come and wait for me after work.
