How safe supply of drugs is saving lives and destigmatizing substance use
Judy Darcy, B.C.’s minister of mental health and addictions, announced last March that physicians could prescribe pharmaceutical alternatives to street drugs for people who use substances. In September, Dr. Bonnie Henry, B.C.’s provincial health officer, passed an order allowing registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses to prescribe controlled substances in an attempt to increase access to a safer supply after a record-breaking number of drug toxicity deaths over the summer. One factor that contributed to this surge of deaths is an extremely toxic and illegally produced drug supply with high fentanyl concentrations in all illicit substances.

There was a record number of illicit-drug overdose deaths in British Columbia in 2020. And the Canadian Association for Safe Supply has linked this high number to inaction on the part of the provincial government.
According to the group s cofounder, Jordan Westfall, the province was caught flat-footed during a pandemic when we needed physical distancing and safe supply .
In a news release, he said that few could access that supply and it wasn’t exactly safe, although patients were never told that.”
That needs to change, Westfall said, 83,000 people struggle with opioid dependence placing them at higher overdose risk. ....

BC's Deadliest Year for Overdoses and a 'Shameful,' 'Unconscionable' Response

Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Sheila Malcolmson said today the deaths were an “insidious impact of the pandemic,” wiping out progress made in 2019.
But advocates and experts say the province’s small, slow steps to address the crisis, even after the potential impacts of the pandemic on overdose deaths became clear, are a slap in the face to the families and friends of the 6,733 people who have died since 2016.
“We have had years to get ahead of this,” said peer advisor Guy Felicella of the BC Centre on Substance Use. “COVID showed how fragile what we had in place already really was.” ....
