Greg Liang's Presentation for the National Working Meeting on Crack Cocaine and Hepatitis C, being held March 10th-11th 2005 in Ottawa, Ontario

Presentation by Greg Liang of VANDU about his experience with substance use, the problem of impure cocaine and crack being cut with speed and other chemicals, the problem of lack of access to proper drug use equipment, and the need for services such as a safe Inhalation Room for people who smoke drugs. The supervised injection site in Vancouver is proof that such services work. There is also a need for drug testing to make sure the drugs people are using are safe, and for peer involvement and support systems to ensure that users are able to use drugs safely.
