How much reality do people need to see before our deaths are a pandemic and get the same money actions and thoughts COVID-19 has gotten I am embarrassed to be a human next to most people who are supposed to be doing what’s best for us

@SerenaME17 @JulsBudau @ashtrey5 Oh please do please do is say do so much trouble so much trouble

[Laura Shaver @shaverlaura4]

@64gifts @JulsBudau @ashtrey5 I never had a plan before to come off of opiates I now cannot wait to get off them fast enough we need exit plans not life plans you cannot live having to pick up a medication every morning

[Laura Shaver @shaverlaura4]

@64gifts @JulsBudau @ashtrey5 They are not going to be just replaced if they fall off and for somebody who is on 900 mils of fentanyl patch losing that much that’s a deep sickness

[Laura Shaver @shaverlaura4]

@64gifts @JulsBudau @ashtrey5 I am also on in an extreme amount of fentanyl and I went the whole summer with them coming off I no longer use the Tegaderm just the patch alone which seems to work the best I’ve also heard of people using Flovent there still has to be other options

[Laura Shaver @shaverlaura4]

@garthmullins @BCAPOM I want people to understand how dangerous drugs can be in combinations do need to be exit plans there needs to be different ways of people being treated on these programs and these are the new ways that BCAPOM is going to try and get through this fight

[Laura Shaver @shaverlaura4]

@garthmullins @BCAPOM Because of what I have seen in bed and through my views have changed we need everything we need exit plans and we need recovery plans as we see fit and illicit safe supply

[Laura Shaver @shaverlaura4]

@garthmullins @BCAPOM I don’t want to be nodding out on prescription fentanyl and benzodiazepines I want real heroin and nothing at all it’s a control I’m no longer me

[Laura Shaver @shaverlaura4]

@garthmullins I speak slowly for myself not as BCAPOM or as Vandu or is BCCSU yes these programs are great but they are not enough and they are too hard for people to access We need access to elicit safe supply not seen compounded treatment

[Laura Shaver @shaverlaura4]

@garthmullins Then you want to give us this safe what you call safe supply my turn for us we will die without pier safe supply

[Laura Shaver @shaverlaura4]

@garthmullins Since the switch in 2014 I have overdosed 10 times the last time with a benzo overdose I have lost almost every friend I’ve ever had here these are preventable deaths

[Laura Shaver @shaverlaura4]

@garthmullins Not only that now that I have been back onto the street heroin well now fentanyl benzos I have lost a lot of my memory I’ve become very angry I am now on an extreme prescription and he’ll probably chase Ray almost anybody who ever cared about me

[Laura Shaver @shaverlaura4]

@garthmullins OK so it is now 2023 and there is still a special exemption needed for the old Methadone and yes downplaying it is disgusting I was 5 1/2 years clean I was still using Methadone yes but I was no longer on street heroin I

[Laura Shaver @shaverlaura4]

@VANDUpeople @CityofVancouver @VancouverPD So you put people in new homes to take them away and I have been told I’m the one who should be on the street how about we do a housing trial I wonder how what people like to call normal people no disrespect just curious

[Laura Shaver @shaverlaura4]

But please everyone remember I am not a doctor I am a drug consumer who wants to keep people alive consuming drugs or not

[Laura Shaver @shaverlaura4]

I am working strictly complaint’s again I have so much data to enter that cement’s the programs and policies that have worked I never thought I would ever want to come off all opiates but I have started it will be a long road but as I go it may be a learning tool
