'Safe Supply' Program Will Distribute Free Opioids To Entrenched Users


Carissa Sutherland's history with drugs is a lot like many others in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside.

The 29-year-old started about 10 years ago with morphine and hydromorphone pills marketed under the brand name Dilaudid or "Dilly" as it's known on the street.
