Yes here for the hydromorphone program, you have to pick up your 30 dilaudid tablets daily. though, at least where I am, there are a few locations across the city where this can be done. I agree that we need to do more with therapy though. I dont believe drugs themselves are the problem, its that there isnt enough focus on mental health, but its getting better. In my city, it seems every addict has a co-occuring mental health disorder. and it seems as much as 50-60% of them have a serious illness like schizophrenia. people suffering what appears to be ongoing/premanent paranoid delusions from exessive methamphetamine abuse seems to be extremely common as well.
I think we just need to regulate and legalize recreational drug use. I mean, here in Canada, Cannabis is legal for recreation, there seems to be 1 or more marijuana stores on every city block, we can buy alcohol, and tobacco and small amounts of codeine. why not legalize the others? Id literally have to walk further from my doorstep to buy weed/booze/cigarettes than Id have to walk to score fentanyl or speed or coke. most urban centers have large open air illicit drug markets anyways, with unregulated, uncontrolled and many times dangerously narcotics. I mean the safe supply is just a step away from doing that anyways, all you have to do is say you are addicted to or use street drugs for recreation or pain and you are concerned about the tainted drug supply and you will leave with an Rx alternative to your DOC. so really its legal, but u need a signed piece of paper... If you go in and say you use Fentanyl, you will get Methadone,Dilaudid,Morphine or all 3 together (potentially Heroin or fentanyl as well if you asked I guess) if you use crack/coke or street speed, you will get high dose methylphenidate, lisdexfetamine, dextroamphetamine or adderall. Its a step in the right direction, but that alone wont solve the addiction crisis. certainley it will likely help the overdose crisis, and already seems to be cutting down crime, since people dont have to steal from stores or homes or people to get a fix anymore.
Also in Canada….I can “legally” Purchase online LSD-25, Psilocybin, Cannabis, DMT, Ketamine, MDMA (of questionable purity & chemical makeup…by NO means 100% pure pharmaceutical grade MDMA) sketchy garbage and probably made up of several obtainable analogs selling under the guise of MDMA)
Tylenol # 1 or whatever, weak @$$ shit, Ohhhh 8mg of Codeine, 25mg Caffeine, 325mg Acetaminophen…..you would be hospitalized of liver failure due to a MASSIVE acetaminophen toxicity in a reckless attempt to get “high” of low dose weak ass Codeine
However ….in Canadian PF Codeine-Contin 200mg scored tablets (25/50/100/200mg tablets). An opioid naive patient would feel great from a 200mg tablet of Codeine, or a few.
These colour tablets tablets look like candy to me….I have a morbid attraction to all CII controlled substances

They all look like pure fckn Sex…..it’s like looking at pornography to me, I get aroused and a desire to obtain 10,000 tablets/capsules of each CII substance ….like XXX rated candy.
Dopaminergic euphoric pleasure (DAT/NET/SERT / Mu-Opioid agonists / GABA-A PAM’s)
Dopaminergic stimulants / Opioids / Anxiolytic & Muscle Relaxation
NOTE: Currently in B.C. Canada (due to sickening amounts of deaths due to title wave flood of commie Fentanyl from China the Government has been prescribing I.V. Diacetylmorphine (Heroin) & injectable Hydromorphone, in addition to many services such as safe injection site and services to “get your drugs tested” which use lab grade equipment to analyze that unknown powdered substance you’ve obtained off the streets. Oral Methadone is great by many need to bang that sh!t for that euphoric warmth & relaxation. Clean new fresh needles, medical staff on site, and pharmaceutical Diamorphine & Hydromorphone for injection. Crack/Cocaine/Meth addictions are often treated with oral XR Amphetamines (Adderall 30’s X 4 daily or Dexedrine Spansule 15mg X 4 daily in addition to IR Dexedrine 5mg tablets. It’s a cluster f@ck over there. I’m in Ontario other side of the country
Through Health Canada’s “Special Access Program” any physical can order in Desoxyn (d-Meth), Diamorphine (Heroin) or any other highly regulated controlled substances not currently available in market in Canada
