Published: Oct. 6, 2020, 2 p.m.

HI there,
     Thanks for tuning in!! My guest for this episode is Kristin Kerr. She is the executive Director of the Stonehenge Addictions Centre here in Guelph, Ontario. We get into discussion about how the pandemic has causes a staggering increase in drug and alcohol usage in our community, the social stigma that plagues the subject and the topic of safe supply. 
Like a lot of you, I listen regularly to Joe Rogan. On his show, he has mentioned how the Swiss have treated their opioid crisis with safe supply and how that has made a dramatic difference to the lives of those struggling, the legal system and the community in general. I researched what Switzerland did, in preparation for this show, and then get to discuss my findings with Kristin. She's classy, well spoken, and sharp... Ladies and gentlemen, Kristin Kerr!
