@ShayRD You will be missed.

Moral panic outcomes. “Safer supply” prescribing ratcheting down across the province as individual clinics & programs get the fear. More barriers to a program that is already very hard to access, that reaches only a few.

Imagine how #PrEP access would have made a difference to the people who will find out they have HIV through your testing tomorrow on #WorldAIDSDay
It is time for PrEP to be put on the formulary @juliegreenMLA #nwtpoli #nwt

Both of VANDU's SUAP applications were rejected. We were going to run a safe supply compassion club.

[Canadian Drug Policy Coalition @CANdrugpolicy]

On this International Drug Users’ Remembrance Day, we’re taking a moment to honour our friends, family & community members whose lives have been lost to the toxic drug poisoning crisis.

We renew our calls for an accessible safe supply of drugs to end this crisis. #SafeSupply

[Garth Mullins @garthmullins]

Since last year, I sat on BC government's Core Planning Table, representing @VANDUpeople. We gave advice on BC's application to the feds for an exemption to Canada's Controlled Drugs & Substances Act. A s.56 to decriminalize small amounts of drugs for personal possession.

[Canadian Drug Policy Coalition @CANdrugpolicy]

Drug policy & human rights groups are voicing concerns over Health Canada’s landmark approval of "decriminalization" in B.C. While we support policies that move drug policy forward, the announcement signals a significant missed opportunity.

[Canadian Drug Policy Coalition @CANdrugpolicy]

"It doesn't matter to dead people what the thresholds are, or what decriminalization is. The only thing that is going to help … is to get safe supply for people who are dependent." #BCpoli #DrugDecrimCanada @momsstoptheharm @leslie_mcbain

No international treaty obstacle in B.C. pilot? No international treaty obstacle in legalizing cannabis, why now with Bill #C216 reforms? 4/4

Ahead of Ontario’s June 2 election day, drug policy advocates are releasing recommendations on what the next provincial government could put in place to address the unrelenting overdose crisis. Look for our #GettingToTomorrow Ottawa dialogue report mid-June.

A private members bill to decriminalize the personal possession of substances Bill C-216 is currently being debated in the house of commons & @momsstoptheharm need your help to get it to the next stage.
