Send a letter to Premier Eby telling him you object to recriminalization in BC. Tell him that you unequivocally disagree. Share your voice for sensible drug policy and policy that reduces death. Share widely. #bcpoli firstunited.ca/resources/dont…
Drug possession of 2.5 g or less is not the same as drug use in public. Decriminalization only speaks to legally possessing 2.5 g. All opinions that decriminalization in BC causes more deaths or more public drug use are false. Spread the word.
abc.net.au/news/2024-04-2… "In short: The Victorian government will trial the use of hydromorphone with a select group of heroin users in a new health hub in Melbourne, Australia"

Evidence to show that the criminalisation of drugs has failed is overwhelming. Yet a disconnection between discourse and policy action persists. On the cover, our Editorial explores this critical health issue. Find this and more: buff.ly/3SQTVbl
There is so much information out there that it is heart breaking. This the 15th month deaths have been over 175 every month. That is like everyone in a movie theatre dead. There are things we can do: stay tuned. MSTH will be releasing some short videos to better inform folks
And it's over 💔 The team is heartbroken, and folks who utilized the site feel abandoned. SHAME on @fordnation SHAME on @SylviaJonesMPP #saveonscs

“They don't even have a clue how the system actually works.” Garth Mullins reacts to the proposal of a safe supply oversight committee in B.C. This is VANCOLOUR @CHEK_News 📺 Apple: tinyurl.com/bdz7axmy Spotify: tinyurl.com/mryydnnk YouTube: tinyurl.com/bp7aatkj
The level of sheer neglect, gaslighting and finger pointing from @BCNDPCaucus @BCUnitedCaucus @liberal_party @CPC_HQ is reprehensible. The mismanagement of this crisis by our political leaders is unconscionable. Thousands upon thousands dead across Canada due to drug policies.
"Safe supply"does not mean that using drugs is safe. It means that the drugs will not be toxic,so they are safe in that sense. Every day opioids, barbiturates & benzodiazepines are prescribed by physicians. Do only some people deserve a "safe supply"?
@msth_bc Although this report is positive for many of our goals at MSTH, it falls short. It should have included prevention, education, and the lack of efficacy/harms of policing. Next time!
MSTH members appreciate the BC Auditor General's detailed report. Many of us involved in this crisis have made similar observations to the BC Gov. for a very long time. The government needs to ensure all recommendations are acted on EVEN IF others object loudly.

@elenoresturko Nurses have faced growing dangers at work for decades. This is why there have been security guards all over hospitals for decades - where in the past, that wasn't a thing. Nursing Safety has not and isn't about decriminalization. It never was, and isn't now.
@CorreneAntro @elenoresturko @Dave_Eby @msth_bc @bcndp We must legalise a safe supply of drugs. Alcohol kills, cigarettes kill but we have a safe supply of both. As long as people like @elenoresturko keep pushing back the legalisation of a safe supply of drugs, we will continue to see the death toll rise.

@sheldonbailey you don't give them a supply of fentanyl that is NOT what safe supply means ..safe supply means pure diacetylmorphine(heroin) at a known percentage not 100% uncut and not going to kill anyone some street dope is as low is 60% and gets the job done
@sheldonbailey Then we're doomed, because we will never get deadly drugs off the street as long as there is no attractive, legal, safer alternative, only a fraction of drug users have something to recover from, and new people become addicted all the time.
@sheldonbailey That's called the war on drugs. It doesn't stop or prevent drug use. The new drugs are introduced because of it. The best path is to make regulated drugs accessible to the public as fast as possible.
@sheldonbailey The only way forward is Federal legalization and regulation of an affordable supply of all drugs. Thats it. A government supply sold at cost with a 3% tax rate to pay for treatment for anyone that wants it. This approach would do more good than any other one thing.
@sheldonbailey Yes getting tougher & tougher has always worked To make it worse, How did we get ‘bathtub gin’ off the streets again?
