There is no such thing as “safe drugs.” Government-funded supply keeps people trapped in…

In your ideal world, what alternative would you like to see? In an ideal world, I don't want to see crack pipes given out by cities with their logo on it. You were telling me. I want to see a society that puts value on recovery. I want to see more money into recovery. I want to see, in some cases, I think there's a conversation to be had about putting people into recovery, even if they're not ready to go. And I know that some provinces are experimenting with that. I want to see wraparound supports for transitional housing afterwards. But what I don't want to see is government-funded drugs that are being diverted into places that they weren't before. You have effectively government-run pharmacies that give out a lesser potent version of the thing that you're chasing in the first place. Those things end up, and we know, they end up diverted into schools. We know that they are that initial hook for somebody that wasn't using and maybe isn't chasing that high. But that's where they get. We know this is happening. And it is insane to say that it's not. It is insane to rebrand something as safe drugs. There's no such thing.
