This is my son. He is three months old and completely healthy. We adopted him from his birth mother who chose us. She also did everything she could to make sure that he was as healthy as she could. That means she was on methadone during her pregnancy. 1/? 
That means he was born with an addiction to opiates. We worked with medical professionals to taper him safely off of the morphine he was prescribed. Without safe access to opiates being administered safely under the supervision of professionals, he would likely have died 2/?
He was given his last dosage two days ago. He is happy and healthy and I love him so much that my heart feels as though it could burst. He is alive today due to #harmreduction and today I’m reading about @jkenney acting to restrict access for people, the same access as my son 3/?
Why? For the crime of being adults in pain and dealing with trauma? Or for being the “wrong kind of people?” I’m not sure. I hope that #ableg doesn’t let this happen quietly. Give ever Albertan the same support my son had. Please.
