I've never seen our drug supply change as quickly in my entire career.
Ever wondered how drug policy changes can reshape a community? In this episode of 'Self-Medicated: Weekly Dose', host Murf Meyer welcomes Haven Wheelock, a passionate harm reduction advocate and the Drug Users Health Services Program Supervisor at Outside In. Broadcasting from Portland, Oregon, they dive into the impact of Measure 110, a groundbreaking law that decriminalizes small amounts of drugs and focuses on treatment rather than punishment.

The episode also explores harm reduction strategies like supervised injection sites and drug testing, aiming to reduce the stigma surrounding drug use.
