In San Francisco, if you buy drugs on the street, there's an 80% chance it's laced with fentanyl. If you buy illicit drugs on social media, 60%. Fentanyl changed the game. Think twice before you buy.

Put on the spot to justify his cynical fearmongering around drug users and poor people, John Rustad lies about how crime statistics are collected and then inadvertently throws an alleyoop to Stephen Quinn. Watch ‘til the end. #bcpoli

This is an important publication by Alberta substance use clinicians Dr. @KateColizza and NP Patty Burton They write deeply about political interference in medical practice in Alberta, in the context of Safer Supply. SUMMARY: Politics should not interfere in medicine, nor

We fought for decriminalization for a generation. After only 18 months, BC Premier Eby gutted it, even admitting the harm he would cause. But we’re taking the government to court. I’m being cross-examined in a few minutes.

Why is the Alberta model for treating addictions doomed to failure? Got 96 seconds? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

The Conservatives promise to bring our loved ones home drug free, but why won't their leader meet with momsstoptheharm to hear what could have kept their children alive?

Doctors are opening up supervised consumption sites‼️ I would like to remind everyone we are in a PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY 🦺 and BC has a ministerial order that dictates overdose prevention sites can and should, and MUST be set where needed. #SaveLives timescolonist.com/local-news/van…

These brave doctors are following history. We have always been forced to use civil disobedience to save lives: supervised injection, narcan, needle, distribution, safe supply. Unjust laws are meant to be broken. Respect. timescolonist.com/local-news/van…

“Ministry of Air” NDP Minister Sheila Malcolmson revealed the addictions ministry’s entire $13 million budget went to salaries & expenses of 83 full-time staff — with nothing actually going towards mental health or addictions. ⁦Dr. Julian Somers⁩ biv.com/news/commentar…

A mom whose daughter was using street fentanyl for years felt so hopeless. She was staying out all night, sleeping all day, waking up in withdrawal, only to leave again. She tried methadone, suboxone, treatment, and nothing seemed to change that vicious cycle. Finally her

🚨PAPER RELEASE - LINK BELOW🚨 We present our third academic paper, a dive into the now-shuttered Compassion Club and Fulfillment Centre. What once stood as a safe haven, offering dignity and hope in a society bent on punishment, has been crushed under legal pressures and

CTV News Vancouver Did you know that BC NDP are including beds in Supportive Housing in the count of treatment beds? They say there is 3500 + and almost half of them are just beds in supportive housing facilities....

Bell "Let's Talk Day"- Mental health challenges & addictions often "go together". The stigma & shame felt by those dealing with these still blocks conversations. People become isolated. We need to connect not disconnect. Talk to someone you need to connect with.

Good studies, are out there like: Medscape,Feb 7 25 -Has Legalized Cannabis Led to a Surge in Schizophrenia Cases? The answer: "Yes"...& " No" only those "who are developmentally vulnerable to both the neurologic effects of cannabis & developing psychosis.”
