Alberta’s premier said her government would be reviewing funding agreements with a harm reduction organization after how-to instructions for “safer” drug consumption, including of crack, were made available to high school students at a wellness fair.

A booth by SafeLink Alberta at a Medicine Hat High School event on Dec. 12 had pamphlets about “safer” crack and crystal meth smoking, according to a local media source.
