I'll wrap with Nyx: "I've watched my coworkers die on the ground, friends die who leave behind children. This is gutting my community, killing everyone I know... If you're subject to this over and over again it becomes routine... for 10 years been screaming for help... that's fallen on deaf ears."

Somewhat surprised Crown doesn't seem to know much about ongoing crisis/ harm reduction. Ex: argued OAT made people use less drugs w/o seeming to understand OAT is drugs that people take maybe for the rest of their life. Or that Naloxone is given out/ can be taken home. Stuff like that.

Importantly — and this was stressed in friggen heartbreaking testimony — they were doing this while their friends, family and community members were dying in horrific, horrific numbers. The trauma they experienced/continue to experience is very clear. The crisis is continuing, 5 ppl/ day are dying.

This club sold to 47 adult members and it seemed to work. After one year of operation members reported fewer overdoses, incidents with police, hospital visits, crime. There were no deaths.
Having a dedicated source of known potency and purity seemed to help stabilize people.

Background: More than 18,600 BCers have been killed by unregulated drugs since 2014. The gov has tried some harm reduction but thousands have still died. DULF decided to break drug laws, which they say were unjust, to provide pure, labelled drugs to high-risk users in a compassion club.

an appropriate response to your product killing a child after months of psychological manipulation and torture is to take the product off the market before it kills again and the fact that this isn’t universally accepted right now is incredibly frightening

I feel the fatal flaw is in the use of "everything" as that desire to describe many traits contradicts the logic of a range. Like, you could describe the 3 elements and then add a "and much more" at the end. But I remember doing PR writing and that realm of writing loves a "something for everyone."
