What I want for my son isn’t total abstinence! I want him to be able to use his drugs safely I want him to be safe and healthy I want him to feel loved and not judged for his choices
I want him to do what’s right for him. What he needs is a #SafeSupply and no more stigma I 💜 u B

@CoreyRanger Last week on my break at the rah I found a girl at the entrance to the lrt right after shift change on a game night dead how many people walked by her before o found her it’s sat with me heavy and painful I’m so angry

Don't believe the conservative hype. There is no "addiction crisis." Stats Canada notes a decrease in prevalence of "Substance Use Disorder" from 2012-2022. Dillies are not creating a "new opioid epidemic." But those of us already wired are dying fast.
@TheBreakdownAB Hahaha no one is inhaling drugs in hospitals but we should have ventilated booths in hospital Scs to ensure people can be safe and also receive the care that is their human right
edmonton police chased a man into the river where he presumably died early this morning. they still haven't recovered his body. it was over a bylaw infraction while on his bike, which could be anything from riding on the sidewalk to not having a bell https://t.co/jADipTqraF
Toxic drug deaths are soaring in Alberta, 2023 likely to be the highest annual count ever recorded. We could lose 2000 people this year. The few supervised consumption sites we have are saving lives daily, we need to expand their reach not shut them down. #ableg
