Abstract
On 15 January 2010, the British Columbia Court of Appeal held that Insite, North America's first supervised injection site, was a provincial undertaking that did not undermine the federal goals of protecting health or eliminating the market that drives drug-related offences. As such, the Court held, the drug possession and trafficking provisions of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) did not apply to it.
