pointing out that the @bcgreencaucus offered to keep6 (politically) for the @BCNDPCaucus and bring the @BCLiberalCaucus to work together right now to expand real accessible #SafeSupply and the government said no we'd rather let thousands die

@kalismethy313 @GovCanHealth has a special access program and desoxyn can and should be imported like we do for heroin.

I get the importance of having safe supply for opioids but mean while stimulant users are still dying due to very limited access to safer stimulants which only generic Dexedrine or Ritalin is available with coverage. We need stimulants like Desoxyn to support stimulant users

Opioid substitutes that separate people from the toxic street supply could save lives, especially in a worsening poisoned drug crisis.

Why do these treatments remain inaccessible to the vast majority of B.C.’s opioid-dependent people?

@kwardvancouver @Averyflash @JulsBudau @momsstoptheharm @CoreyRanger @DrMtyndall @CANdrugpolicy @cultrsaveslives @bcgreencaucus @sarahblyth @InsiteVan what, are you implying it’s a waste of time to engage with someone who thinks drug users want to die? How odd
