Runner, rabble-rouser, mother to Aubrey. To grieve the death of my son/end toxic drug death, I complete a marathon a day at Ministry of Health in Victoria BC

@tyler_harper Yikes! What can be done?

[Jessica Michalofsky @JMichalofsky]

@JM_Whiteside @Dave_Eby It’s my job to mourn. It’s I who lost my only son. It’s your job to stop these preventable deaths. When you lose your child or loved one, you can mourn. Until then, don’t patronize me with your platitudes

You never know when saying goodbye means forever. I lost my close friend Patrick Evans. He just completed treatment & was returning to Vancouver to start over. We talked & planned to meet Friday. In between he was found in his hotel room alone and unresponsive. I’m crushed. 💔💔

“substances that are regulated come at a known strength and can be dosed accordingly, unlike the toxic street supply. This gap in access is…responsible for the increased morbidity and mortality among people who use illegal drugs” ⁦ https://t.co/WI6Id9hOSj

"Petra Schulz...co-founder of...Moms Stop the Harm...said that while she said she believes opioid manufacturers should be held accountable, she'd rather see the government put more effort into #harmreduction policies such as #safesupply." @momsstoptheharm https://t.co/CeUtYcKBaV

@gfaller6 @SeeSpringVic @BC_EHS A safer supply of drugs will ensble people to make better decisions about their lives

[Jessica Michalofsky @JMichalofsky]

@troylana Not only that, but it's against AA to require anyone to attend.

@MLLanzillotta1 My son was told that he didn't want recovery bad enough...otherwise he would agree to 12 step.
That relationship broke...and was never mended.
I love how you constructed this tweet.
'Treatment Resistant'.....wow!

[troylana & on 🦋 @troylana.bsky.social @troylana]

Thought experiment:🧠

What if...
people who use illicit drugs could access a 'regulated safe' supply in order to see if there were less Overdose deaths?

Oh wait...🤔

Ya it's been done👍...and it works to save lives.💜

If you oppose safe consumption sites, then you should oppose bars, pubs, and restaurants that serve alcohol.

@angwelz Def a hard one to make when we are all are screaming at the top of your lungs to be heard.
No sense in giving the wrong narrative the 📢📢📢 !
My number one is a regulated supply accessible to all.

The bc coroner states the reason📢;
it's NOT addictions that "claimed" these lives but....

@VIMentalHealth @CorreneAntro Duh! Not surprising since NOTHING has been dome besides posturing politics 😡

[Ben Perrin @profbenperrin]

"Over half of the supposed cocaine samples tested last month didn't contain cocaine"

This is a toxic contaminated drug crisis

We need a safer regulated supply, decriminalize people and offer harm reduction and recovery.
