Ehrlich gesagt wären die #USA auch ohne den ganzen #Faschismus mächtig am Arsch.

Erst ham'se ihre #Bevölkerung en mass auf #Opioide gehookt & dann über nacht einfach fallen gelassen. Und "große Überraschung" - die Leute haben sich ihren Stoff woanders besorgt

"#Overdoses involving #SyntheticOpioids, primarily #Fentanyl, are the leading cause of U.S. #deaths in people ages eighteen to forty-five."

Nun gibts natürlich Prohibitions - #Kriminalität der übelsten Sorte.

evil scumbag, murdering ratbastard, former mayor ted wheeler is PROUD of his record:

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler exits City Hall after 8 years: ‘I held fast. I didn’t quit. I didn’t give up. I don't care how many people died as a result of my policies. I was - and still am - right."

(i made some of that up. he should kill himself in shame, the heartless, soul-less homunculus.

@mpjgregoire Over the last year Alberta has poured resources into treatment and that is having an effect but we could be doing a lot better if treatment and SCS were both well supported. This crisis isn't going to be solved by single solutions and I'd say we need SCS, treatment, and social supports so that people exiting treatment aren't ending up repeatedly coming back.

@mpjgregoire This is a cherry picked statistic. More useful is looking back over the last five years. In 2019 the UCP in Alberta reduced funding to supervised consumption sites and since then two big ones have closed completely. That's also the time period where Alberta's overdose death rate spiked. By comparison, during the same time frame BC basically held the line on OD deaths.

Between April 2023 and April 2024, overdose deaths declined by about 10 percent nationally to roughly 101,000, according to preliminary data published recently by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That amounted to the largest decrease on record, according to the Biden administration. Nonfatal overdoses are also down more than 10 percent.

The New York Times · Drug Overdose Deaths Are Dropping. The Reasons Are Not Perfectly Clear.By Noah Weiland

"...the Biden-Harris administration prioritized disrupting the supply of illicit fentanyl and other synthetic drugs. They worked to seize the drugs at ports of entry, sanctioned more than 300 foreign people and agencies engaged in the global trade in illicit drugs, and arrested and prosecuted dozens of high-level Mexican drug traffickers and money launderers.

Continued thread

Under this concept, some police would be replaced w/trained #SocialWorkers or specialized response teams in an effort to let police focus on violent #crime, not drug #overdoses, #MentalHealth events or #homelessness. The theory is that police would be better positioned to deal w/ #rapes [#Trump] & #murders if they didn’t have to deal w/ other #social ills that often lead to community confrontations w/ untrained police.

No mention of the fact that weight loss IS OFF-LABEL unapproved use of this concoction. But the FDA does nothing to prevent the ODs by prohibiting it's use as such, it just 'warns'.

"#FDA warns about accidental #overdoses of weight loss drugs

The FDA said patients are self-injecting incorrect doses due to confusion on the parts of both patients and health care providers.
