An overlooked aspects of the drug toxicity overdose crisis has been the emotional impacts of overdose on front-line harm reduction workers. Our new paper in @ijdrugpolicy explores the devastating toll from overdose on the wellbeing of workers, and strategies to support them 🧵
I am concerned by news of the “cleanup” of the #CrabPark encampment in #Vancouver. I urge the @ParkBoard to pause and work in good faith with encampment residents on an approach that upholds their dignity, protects their belongings, and respects their security & human rights. –MJ

@mikefarnworthbc Forcing someone to smoke a cigarette in an alleyway or a private location ≠ forcing someone to use unregulated fentanyl contaminated with benzodiazepines in an alleyway or private location. One person walks out of that alleyway and the other doesn’t.
@mikefarnworthbc So if you want to make the argument that we SHOULD be able to regulate illegal drug use the same way we regulate alcohol and cannabis use, you might want to circle back to the fact that unregulated drugs are the primary drivers death for British Columbians aged 10-59.
@mikefarnworthbc The ones that are not regulated are killing 2500 British Columbians annually. When you buy wine, you have protections in place that prevent that wine from containing animal tranquilizers. Could you imagine if your beer had a 3% chance of containing fentanyl?
@mikefarnworthbc Because we can talk about drug regulation if you wanted to. We could regulate currently-illegal drugs in the way we regulate alcohol and cannabis. Then we could effectively regulate the use of those drugs. But right now, some drugs are regulated and others are not.
"We can't forget that over 42,000 people have died of overdoses and disinformation that actually slows our response to saving the next set of lives is really disappointing," Read more: cbc.ca/news/canada/lo…

Canada’s #encampment crisis needs a national response. Today, we call for the creation of a National Encampments Response Plan by August 31. Governments must act now to provide basic necessities, halt evictions & uphold #HumanRights. Watch: bit.ly/3OM5YUn

That’s another 66 people who have lost their access. That’s a total of 779 people who have lost access since the numbers peaked in March 2023. That’s over 15% reduction in access. And when I say “lost access” I should say many have had their access taken away. Cut off.
