@guyfelicella
@jenniferelle_
Your case is not the norm. Statistics are screeming in your face that safe supply is not working evidenced by a rampant increase in addiction and overdose stats. Increased access to narcotics is only widening the problem. To say otherwise states that you aren't paying attention.

@ZivoAdam
? Looking to make a killing from promoting panic?
Canada's first "safe supply" program in London started in 2016.
It’s a warning to BC that the harms of "safe supply" continue to get worse.
Conservatives of BC will end Eby's dangerous drug experiment and instead fund detox, treatment & recovery.

chairing a committee that leaned on a PDF crafted by a disgraced academic that did not even follow the correct steps for one of the most basic research methods, and which would never pass any peer review process (and hasn't!), is not really something to be proud of actually
When I served as Chair of the Safe Supply Committee we investigated safe supply policies. We found no evidence that they would reduce overdoses and that these policies would have the opposite effect and result in more drugs ending up inthe hands of our children and more overdoses

DULF stepped in while the government abandoned us all - then they were targeted for it. No more compromise for a safe, regulated drug supply
While the coroners service calls for "access without a prescription to the class of opioid & stimulant drugs", the government shuts down and criminalizes DULF.
This is a travesty, a crime, in light of the fact that every day in BC almost 6 families plan funeral.

What happened to consequences?
If you are a drug dealer causing addiction and harm you should have swift and harsh consequences. How is it that we allow drug dealing in places like hospitals and prisons? Harm reduction should not mean a free for all.
