Vancouver's supervised injection facility granted constitutional exemption from federal drug law
HIV AIDS Policy Law Rev.
2008 Dec.
Abstract
In a landmark decision on 27 May 2008, the B.C. Supreme Court held that because Insite--North America's only supervised injection facility (SIF)--provided health care, denial of access to Insite and safe injection would threaten individuals' rights to life, liberty and security of the person.
