IHA: Time to look at regulating hard drugs
Description
December 19, 2016
The number of overdose deaths in the Okanagan is just as alarming. So far this year, the number has surpassed last year's total and a majority of them are happening in Kelowna. A former addict says hard-core drug users are knowingly flirting with death while Interior Health says perhaps it's time to regulate hard drugs in order to get a grip on the crisis. Kelly Hayes reports.
