Kingston, ON approves a drug analysis pilot that provides real-time intelligence on street drug use

Kingston, ON Drug Analysis Pilot Real-Time Intelligence

In Progress

City council members agreed to a 15-month pilot of analysis technology at Kingston Community Health Centres (KCHC). Software developed by Spectra Plasmonics allows drug users to test small samples of street drugs prior to use. This platform analyzes drug types and toxicity to generate harm reduction resources for supervised users. KCHC and the City of Kingston will develop clearer pictures of street drug toxicity than those provided by autopsies and drug busts.
