The rise of Australia’s first legally sanctioned and medically supervised injecting center is chronicled in this personal account of addiction, public policy, and the health sector. As the center’s health professionals struggle to save the lives of addicts, its leaders struggle against legal action, political snares, and fierce opposition from all sides: the Prime Minister, the Vatican, and the United Nations International Narcotics Control Board.
