The two views of how safe supply actually works have been crashing into each other with increasing frequency lately in the political world.
In the cabinet offices, the executive suites of the public health sector and the senior ranks of the RCMP there is a mantra they chant to themselves regularly.It’s a comforting reassurance. Safe supply is the certified drugs being supplied by the government to addicted people, in order to save them from overdosing to death on unregulated drugs.
So it was fascinating to get a close-up, street-level view of what exactly is happening outside at least some clinics and pharmacies after the prescribed safer supply is handed directly to people struggling with addiction problems. The pharmacist told police his prescriptions were being traded for illegal drugs. Ever since safe supply started, people have been loitering outside the store buying prescribed drugs from his patients after they are dispensed, he said. The problem has gotten worse in the last year.
RCMP warned: “Organized crime groups are actively involved in the redistribution of safe supply and prescription drugs.”
