What is Harm Reduction

Harm Reduction & Self Care First ;  Harm reduction is simply anything you can do to lessen the harm done to oneself or one's envirement.Taking a bus instead of flying...riding a bike instead of taking a bus...smoking 10 joints instead of the usual 15...injecting 2 instead of 3 ...stop smoking & we can go on & on with various examples of harm reduction....The needle exchange is probably the best example...but we need to do more...safe injection sites have saved many lives & needs to spread out across the rest of America..It's time the WAR ended & the prohibition stopped...its time to put people first...With the legalization & taxation of drugs we can invest in treatment facilities & schools NOT jails & jets as Mr Harper would like...how can 1 man be so anal...affecting millions of lives...it just boggles the mind it does!

 Meditation has played a huge part in my own personal self care first strategy & I would strongly encourage all to take up this healing practice...self care should  & harm reduction should be taught in all schools & to all of our youth...PS! I love clean water,air,forests,lakes,rivers,streams, & I am strongly against ALL pollution...does this make me a terrorist,I think not...a dreamer maybe,but terrorist no...Sadly under the new Harper government laws I may be branded as 1 for loving a clean environment...sometimes people have to take a stand when they know in their hearts they are doing the right thing... I suppose it's all a matter of perspective really...yours or mine...or hisÉ...peace all!
