British Columbia #decriminalized #drugs for personal use earlier this year.

This is a 3 year, time limited exemption granted by Health Canada.

The issue? The # of grams for personal use approved is not high enough for the majority of #PeopleWhoUseDrugs (only 2.5 grams or less 🙄).

How about this! Make it ILLEGAL to create policies without consulting AND listening to the population most impacted ✊️

I should mention -

I used the term "drug posioning" instead of overdose intentionally.

Due to stigma, it is wrongfully assumed that drug "overdoses" take place at the fault of the person who uses drugs.

In reality, it is because of the unregulated drug supply.

Advocates refer to this as a drug poisoning because the contents and/ strength does not align with what was intended.

Show me an ECG and you have have my attention. Lets discuss Intensive Care, ethics in acute research and harm reduction in the opioid crisis 💉🫀

Harm reduction is daring to see the human behind the needle in the arm. And deliver lifesaving cpr and naloxone when needed 😨❣️💉
