The last three years have been an amazing journey working with this team - beyond delighted to start sharing the findings from this project.
Excited to introduce the incredible research team behind #ImagineSafeSupply! 🔬 From Jan to June '21, this community-based project interviewed 33 drug users & frontline heroes across BC, Alberta, Ontario, & Quebec to understand their wants and needs for a safer supply.

How much of their tax $ are not spent on housing & treatment instead of futile border security, port inspections, drug squads & drug busts that never stopped the flow of drugs but have contributed to the diversification & proliferation of new ones & gang violence #cdnpoli #hesa
Canadians deserve to know how much of their tax dollars are going to Big Pharma for these dangerous and deadly drugs. Trudeau must release all contracts he has signed for his radical taxpayer-funded hard drug program.

I dedicate this doc to all the people we've lost during the toxic drug crisis. Thank you Smokey for being such an incredible human but mostly for being my friend & helping me in my life. What a trip to drop this project on #SmokeyDevil day. WATCH IT HERE: smokeydevil.app

Happy to see our piece published about the need for community driven programs of safe supply like @DULFBC
"When we asked participants to envision an ideal model of safe supply," write researchers @jack_farrell1 & Sean O'Callaghan, "many described programs which ... directly align with DULF’s compassion club." @CANdrugpolicy filtermag.org/research-compa…

The topic of safer supply has been very contentious, and it shouldn't be. A new scoping review published in @ijdrugpolicy found 24 publications reporting outcomes from safer supply programs; 17 were peer-reviewed scientific studies & 7 programs evaluations

The VPD arrest of @DULFBC founders is an act of political and moral cowardice. When law and policy is unjust, communities have no choice but to act. CDPC unequivocally asserts our support for DULF founders and their life-saving work.
