JAMA Patient Page advises drug users on harm reduction

Abstract

Contributing writer for the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) gave harm reduction advice on the JAMA Patient Page in the current issue, published online February 19. The JAMA Patient Page is described by JAMA as a “public service.” This article is evidence of established medicine's embrace of already established harm reduction techniques, which eschew treatment in favor of continuing illicit drug use “safely.”
