Chad D. Kollas (he/him) It's been clear that Rxs did not drive opioid abuse; that went up w deaths of despair. tinyurl.com/NYT2020DeathsO…
What fooled many was, back in 1990s, PWUD correctly saw Pharma-manuf Rx drugs were much safer than street drugs, so preferred them!
But recently Rxs down, deaths up.

Breaking 1/2: Alongside Te Rau Ora NZ Drug Foundation just launched our shared values to underpin harm reduction practice in Aotearoa, developed with PWUD, our sector & hui Māori. These Māori values were gifted to us and are for everyone working on HR in NZ Harm Reduction International

Previous studies have suggested that people who use drugs (PWUD) with a history of criminal legal system (CLS) involvement (e.g. current probation/parole) are at greater risk of overdose but may also encounter significant barriers to OPC use.

harm reduction folks: Mike Brown of Never Use Alone blackmailed two of our fellow harm reductionists in an act of anti-SW, anti-PWUD harm.

I can’t believe this was a year ago 😱 I love Vancouver so much!

Joann Ginal is it about the 'holes' or is it that you're counting on 'they're [PWUD] all going to die anyway'? As a Senator, in your last two wks, I hope you can focus on holding yourself to a higher standard when speaking about your constituents and how to read mountains of data

It’s wild how everyone assumes you must problematically do a lot of drugs to fight for PWUD. Abstinence only ppl need to stop projecting their own problematic relationships with substances onto everyone else. You don’t have to do drugs to support PWUD, substances are not

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
#Heroin Assisted Treatment works,
The U.S should utilize it too.

Bridge Michigan How about asking PWUD what they want and what’s wronging and talking to people actually on the front lines reversing overdoses. Literally no organization working directly with PWUD asked for stronger formulations. It’s not hard.

missey em Chuck Unfiltered Elenore Sturko BC Association of Chiefs of Police Vancouver Police Fiona Wilson Do you really think that someone who has been through the shit that PWUD have thrown at them would behave like such an asshole?

His opinion has been factually proven wrong. The war on drugs is 50 years strong. And it has FAILED TREMENDOUSLY.
