Study found that neither the safer supply policy nor the subsequent decriminalization of drug possession appeared to alleviate the opioid crisis. Instead, both were associated with an increase in opioid overdose hospitalizations.

VanshittyTV 2023 compilation of documentaries from the 1970s to 2010 (pre-harm reduction) explaining how Vancouver's Downtown East side came to be

Baffled by people who want more housing but hate home builders, want more medicines but hate pharmaceutical companies, want more jobs but hate employers etc. There's no Easter Bunny...if we want stuff, someone has to make it.

Refusing change is a choice, and it's keeping the Downtown Eastside in crisis. The Downtown Eastside is not the kind of area that can be saved by merely tinkering. Redevelopment is needed for a mixed-income transformation. #DTES #bcpoli #vanpoli #vanre https://t.co/qNMD92V3y8

I’ve never seen so many people distraught over taxes NOT being increased. May you live in interesting times.

The BC government opened a supervised consumption site that became an engine of violence and criminality. So the neighbours sued — and now they’ve won an out-of-court settlement. Hurrah! https://t.co/zZmw8MTzLy

Yes, ‘paying it forward”, lol but no volunteering. I can’t post as he blocked anyone calling him out

Guy Felicella spent years peddling the "safer supply" scam and gaslighting the public about hydromorphone diversion. Now that it's broadly recognized that safer supply failed and is harming youth, he's trying to pin the blame on the program's critics – because god forbid he

@VancityNews1 Video of Hastings from 1990 (with bossa nova soundtrack lol):

“Addiction has been normalized. Disorder has been excused, and the moral clarity once needed to confront this issue has been replaced by bureaucratic doublespeak and political cowardice.” My latest.

SHOCKING: NDP MLA Stephanie Higginson says she won’t support the Drug Use Prevention Education in Schools Act because she finds “explicitly discouraging drug use” to be “deeply concerning”. I find it deeply concerning that this government can’t put their radical ideology aside

@Conservative_BC Why not call on Eby to reinstate the work we’d been doing for 20 years - give us the data we were promised so that British Columbians have hard facts about addiction, homelessness, and crime?

I can’t comment on Guy’s post because he blocks anyone who tells the truth but you can.

"Everywhere I look, prohibition continues to be blamed for the increasingly lethal and complex drug supply. The truth is, it’s just business." Wise editorial by Jim Crotty. https://t.co/pm6z0Uw91Z
