About Us:
The J Healthcare Initiative is committed to advocating for person-centred, evidence-based diverse care options for drug users to end the toxic drug crisis. We envision a world where substance use healthcare is a norm, where supply of substances are regulated and upscaled, where people exercise their own freedom to choose their own substance without fear of being prosecuted or being put into rehab against their will. We envision a world where substance users and those who live with substance use addiction have all the resources that they need to live a fulfilling life regardless of their intentions to abstain from substances.
