We’d love to hear more about this proof.

Do you work in law enforcement?

What evidence, not opinion based, do you have to support this?

Do you work or interact with individuals experiencing addiction?

I keep hearing people trying to blame harm reduction for "enabling addiction".

Harm reduction doesn't enable addiction, unaddressed trauma, poverty, and homelessness does. #harmreductionworks

Pierre Poilievre's Flawed Fentanyl Trafficking Announcement Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s β€œwar on drugs” announcement today for mandatory life imprisonment for trafficking over 40 mg of fentanyl would be ineffective at saving lives and would be uncons...

I thought Pierre Poilievre wanted to "bring your loved ones home drug free"?

Now he just wants to put everyone in prison 🀯. We already did that and it failed miserably. We can't arrest our way out of this crisis.

We can’t arrest our way out of the overdose crisis. Yet the House is voting next week on the HALT Fentanyl Act, which blocks health research & increases mandatory minimum sentences for fentanyl. Tell your Rep to vote NO & prioritize health over handcuffs: engage.drugpolicy.org/secure/vote-...
