Toronto health officials have reported an increase in opioid overdose deaths this week — reports from staff and clients say it's from a new batch of more powerful drugs circulating that are in a light green rock form.

the attitude #Trump administration has to #drugs makes 0 sense - one moment they are pardoning dealers, the next making #harmreduction more difficult - *unless* there's a deliberate attempt (maybe not even from Trump or RFK, but someone more clued up) to "give folk enough rope to hang themselves" or even allow the use of #fentanyl and other nasties like #xylazines to cull out "undesirables"..

this bill is a good one. i hope it becomes law. nobody should hesitate to call an ambo for a suspected OD or bad drug reaction.

"A member's bill by Green MP Kahurangi Carter passed its first hurdle [in the NZ legislature] on Wednesday night. The legislation would prevent low-level drug prosecutions against those who call in suspected overdoses or bad drug reactions."

"The policy shift highlights the growing tension over harm reduction, a drug policy approach introduced more than 25 years ago by grass-roots groups and later adopted by mainstream addiction medicine, and, finally, the Biden administration. The harm-reduction model maintains that interventions that make drug use safer have lifesaving merits, including the possibility that users might seek treatment."
