This is your friendly reminder that the spike in Fentanyl overdoses is a direct result of prohibitionist drug policies.
People who use drugs didn't ask for fentanyl.
It was given to them to circumvent law enforcement's blind scramble to reduce supply & maximize profits.
There were more fentanyl fatal overdoses in 12 months ending April 2021 than OD deaths from all drugs in 2016. washingtonpost.com/health/20… with @LennyMBernstein

We’ve been working to ensure that staff in Private Emergency Accommodation (PEA) are trained & have access to #Naloxone.
At the weekend, a passerby collapsed from an #overdose outside a PEA. Their staff ran out to give naloxone, call an ambulance & stay with them.
All went well! – at Dublin City, Ireland

Portugal decriminalised all drugs, and adopted a health based approach instead. They've been doing this for 20 years. Great article here about its impact theguardian.com/news/2017/de…

The experience of #edibles may be different to inhaling cannabis as a result of how the liver processes THC.
It can take longer to feel the effects and the effects could be stronger for some people.

The Misuse of Drugs Act has been causing more harm than drugs since 1977.

Do you know how to respond to an Opioid Overdose?
Do you know how to administer #Naloxone?
For #WorldHealthDay we are training the incredible staff from @DepaulIreland on Overdose Response and Naloxone administration.
