Losing the War on Drugs

By Sandra Kiume
August 5, 2009

Gabor Mate

Dr. Mate talks about why and how the legal and medical systems have been ineffective in the war on drugs. ”We ‘re punishing people for having been abused in the first place.” Describing observations made as a clinician at Vancouver’s InSite safe injection site and OnSite rehab facility, he reads from his forthcoming book In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts. See also: TV documentary about InSite.
