Documents Show BC Knew Safe-Supply Diversion Was Negligible
Rather than publicize the evidence to correct loud claims of safe supply diversion flooding communities, the BC government opted to sit on the information.
"Even as [BC's] Ministry of Health was caving to right-wing panic over 'diversion' of safe supply drugs, its public safety ministry internally acknowledged the negligible role of diverted opioids in the unregulated drug supply."
"[O]pted to sit on the information."

From Prairie Harm Reduction: upcoming meeting organized without notifying the group about whom they are speaking. Since this MP is known for spreading conservative fear mongering & misinformation this is pretty shady. Shame on the organizing groups for trying to control the narrative

provincial governments all across this nation looove to use the βbc tried it and it didnβt workβ narrative . It plays nicely into their manufacturing of consent for harmful forced treatment policies and rollbacks of harm reduction. Sask Iβm looking at you

Decriminalization worked. B.C. killed it anyway β The Breach
The provinceβs drug decriminalization experiment lowered arrests and reduced harmβbut it failed a different political test
B.C. cancelled its drug decriminalization pilot, saying it hadnβt βdelivered the resultsβ they wanted.
Its results: fewer drug users arrested and traumatized by cops.

Also worth noting that the cops probably have no idea what concentration this batch contains, just that it looks like fentanyl. So their claim is misleading and meaningless.
Maybe there was a sticker on the ice cream bucket that said "FENTANYL. WARNING: ENOUGH TO KILL 125,000 OPIOID-NAIVE PEOPLE."

I regret B.C.βs decision to end its decriminalization pilot and am disappointed the province has not released an independent evaluation. When governments change course on life-and-death issues, Canadians deserve to see the evidence. See more π

2. Do it half assed
3. Make the legal threshold very low, not enough to allow people to legally keep themselves from getting sick.
4. Fall for fear mongering from conservatives.
