The purpose of the training isn’t to promote drug use. It’s to reduce the harm of using drugs — to teach safer practices and prevent overdoses, infections, and injuries. “It comes with serious risks,” Cornelissen says about using opioids. “And the overdose is that your heart stops beating. And death is the next step, which happens a lot in the United States of America. That’s where the harm reduction comes in place.”The Netherlands averages around 300 overdose deaths per year.

David Austin and his partner, Walter Smith, are having an argument — one of those simple, meaningless disputes couples have on quiet Saturday nights. They’re sitting in their living room of their southside Birmingham, Alabama home watching a documentary on YouTube about Johnny Depp, when a question about the celebrity’s relationship history comes up. “That’s not true, they were married,” Austin says. They go back and forth, until Austin decides to fact-check it.

Goodbye, Morris. We are all gonna miss you. You could be hard on directors, make-up artists, costumers - really anyone with arms or legs - but I know you did it for the ultimate good of the film. The day you wouldn’t come out of your trailer unless we sent in 40 heads of lettuce https://t.co/iQlkne4fwJ
