“Last Friday, Health Canada used some creative rule-reading to approve a program that would provide prescription heroin to a small number of hard-core users, and the Conservative health minister isn’t happy. But doctors, advocates, and the users themselves are quite pleased — and once again, Canada stays on the cutting edge when it comes to dealing smartly with heroin use.  Health Canada approved access to prescription heroin for at least 15 people who are completing their participation in Vancouver’s Study to Assess Long-term Opioid Dependence (SALOME), which is testing whether prescribing heroin was more effective than prescribing methadone.”
