Hey, it might be belated introduction time.
I'm Blair. I'm a pharmacist in Vancouver's DTES who occasionally teaches OAT and harm reduction.
This account also half-assedly represents a dormant music business so I'll post/repost about music, beagles, books, autism (I have a autistic kid), etc...

As Esau Lopez was asphyxiated for the first 17 minutes of his life on Earth, the atmosphere in the room remained serene, even ecstatic. Acoustic music crooned from a speaker in a modest two-bedroom apartment in a suburb of Pennsylvania. “You are a queen,” murmured one of three friends in the room.
