‘More harm than good,’ PA Harm Reduction Network on Shapiro Drug Policy

Written By PA Harm Reduction Network

HARRISBURG, Pa. (WHTM) – According to the state, 300,000 Pennsylvanians are currently suffering from drug addiction. Every day 15 lives are lost to overdose. 

“They need meaningful support, not a lot of talk, but meaningful support,” said Governor Josh Shapiro in a press conference last week. “We are giving greater tools to law enforcement and others to properly regulate, control, contain these drugs and if need be, make arrests and hopefully prosecutions.”

Now, the PA Harm Reduction Network is responding.
