Lethal injections have long been widespread in the mid-1990s and are harmful to Canada. To combat the effects of overdose and HIV infection in Vancouver, several public agencies have shed light on and endorsed the idea of ​​a supervised injection site (SIF). However, the first accredited SCS was launched in Canada in 2003. In addition, the health consequences of lethal injection and opioid bans wreak havoc on the community in the form of crime, threats to social safety nets, and health problems. Health.
