For years, British Columbia expanded drug consumption sites while overdose deaths continued to soar. Now, evidence from across Canada demonstrates the dangerous consequences of this approach.

Never forget the death, chaos, misery, and taxpayer money wasted by supervised consumption sites and the harm they inflicted on you and your loved ones.

Love to see this. Julian Somers should be front and centre in every conversation regarding how we fix the terrible mistakes that have brought us here.

Drug poisoning deaths rose and fell across most of Canada and the U.S. at the same time for the same reasons, primarily changes in the illicit drug supply, but also naloxone, and fewer survivors exposed to the risk.

Expanding recovery services is the solution. Shutting down safe injection sites is a mistake that kills people. Somers is a bitter narcissist.

Christy Clark’s govt opened Overdose Prevention Sites across BC in 2016. Clark stood by from 2012 as fentanyl spread, emergency declared in 2016. Btwn this & letting foreign buyers drive real estate prices up they ruined BC for decades. #cndpoli #bcpoli

1/3 Today's debate in the Scottish Government is nothing short of a slow-motion car crash, with policymakers willfully ignoring global evidence while steering Scotland further into drug policy disaster. Instead of fixing our broken treatment system and backing recovery, they are doubling down on failure, pushing policies that have already devastated communities in Portugal, Oregon, and British Columbia. Let’s be crystal clear: decriminalisation isn’t saving lives—it’s killing more people. In Portugal, drug deaths have skyrocketed, treatment services are overrun, and Lisbon has become a hotspot for open-air drug markets​. Oregon’s so-called "progressive" policy has turned its cities into lawless wastelands of public drug use, overdoses, and cartel activity, forcing the government to scramble to re-criminalise drugs just a few years later​. And yet, here we are—watching Scottish politicians repeat these same catastrophic mistakes, pretending that more "harm reduction" will work when all the evidence screams the opposite. This isn’t just ignorance—it’s negligence. If Scotland keeps chasing these failed fantasies of decriminalisation, we’ll be standing in the wreckage of a policy that normalises addiction, fuels overdoses, and abandons the very people it claims to help. Where is the accountability? Where is the outrage? The Right to Recovery Bill offers a real solution—a legal right to treatment, a commitment to recovery, and an end to the bureaucratic blockade that keeps people trapped in addiction. It’s time to wake up. Stop following the junk science of failed decriminalisation and start fighting for real recovery.
