Legal methadone is the little known backbone of Vancouver's harm reduction approach to drug addiction. It's also a tidy business for pharmacies that routinely break their industry's own regulations.

Legal methadone is the little known backbone of Vancouver’s harm reduction approach to drug addiction. It’s also a tidy business for pharmacies that routinely break their industry’s own regulations.Vancouver Courier - On the sidewalk outside Knowltons Drugs Pharmacy at Carrall and Hastings in the Downtown Eastside, Philip Ahl, a 28-year-old crack addict, quickly scans the crowd of drug users, dealers and prostitutes before gazing back through the pharmacy's large front window.
