CdnFox Posted October 23, 2023 Report Posted October 23, 2023 https://nationalpost.com/opinion/adam-zivo-astonishing-amounts-of-government-supplied-opioids-found-for-sale-on-reddit Online drug traffickers are 'loving' Canadian safer supply If you want evidence that Canada’s experimental “safer supply” drug programs have been a disaster, all you need to do is open your laptop and visit Reddit, a popular social media platform. Until very recently, if you knew which keywords to use, you could easily find drug traffickers openly selling tens of thousands of hydromorphone pills, many of which clearly originated from Canadian safer supply programs. Mark found that there was no shortage of hydromorphone for sale. Though the drug had once been scarce and expensive on the black market, that changed dramatically when Canadian safer supply programs began flooding communities with it in 2020. Reddit users frequently lauded safer supply for flooding the market with cheap opioids. Many of the posts selling hydromorphone had such titles as, “Check the date!! 150 dilly 8mg collected thanks to safe supply vancouver,” “Dilly heaven — I love safe supply,” “Batch of d8s, around 250 of em i love my safe supply Fr!!” and “Living in the UK getting high of(f) Canadas safe supply haha. Having family in Canada is a win win all around.” Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
ExFlyer Posted October 23, 2023 Report Posted October 23, 2023 I get so angry when I hear or read about this sort of crap. There is nothing rehabilitative about this free drug and safe space program. It only perpetuates the present users and makes new users feel it is OK. Pi$$ me off!!! ? 1 Quote It can be dangerous to believe things just because you want them to be true. - Sagan

The frustrating thing is that generally once an issue gets a 'solution' the public isn't interested in addressing it again. So now that this has failed, the next gov't will get rid of it but then there will be nothing to replace it because there's no public appetite. Frankly the death rate at this point is so high i'm mildly surprised there are any addicts left. 1 Quote There are two types of people in this world: Those who can extrapolate from incomplete data
