Safe supply programs across the country that aim to provide alternatives to street drugs are under scrutiny right now. But today's story isn't an official safe supply program... it's an activist-led attempt to purchase untainted heroin, cocaine and meth and deliver it straight to users.The creators of the program argue that it has saved lives. The federal government says that what they've been doing is simply drug trafficking. And it's charged them accordingly. But is it possible both sides are correct?

Dr. Lisa, Atika-J and I talk about survivors guilt, and passionately discuss the unspoken and unreported realities of "safe supply" www.a2apodcast.com/thailand ⁠⁠ Hello, I'm Chris Horder (aka Chuck LaFLange) the host of the Ashes to Awesome podcast, dedicated to illuminating the stories and challenges of those affected by addiction and related challenges. Through my personal journey, I've managed to surmount the odds, transitioning from a survivor of addiction (one year sober on Oct 21st) and PTSD to an advocate and member of a community that spans several countries, and proudly promotes stopping stigma and using love and inclusion to help both individuals who suffer in addiction and their loved ones. I am ecstatic and humbled to share that I've been awarded a scholarship for trauma treatment at the Yatra Center in Phuket, Thailand. This incredible opportunity not only provides me with healing tools but also allows me to continue my mission in a setting that supports sustainable living, with a much lower cost of living, making my podcasting and advocacy even more impactful. My family, ever my pillars of strength, have generously stepped in to cover my airfare. However, there's a hurdle in this otherwise amazing journey: my current podcasting setup. To ensure I continue providing quality content and stories, I need a laptop robust enough for intensive video processing. A past endeavor saw a previous laptop overwhelmed by the demands, and I'm determined not to let technical constraints deter my mission this time. My current desktop computer is just too big to take with me. While sponsorships for the podcast have been a blessing, covering most of my expenses, I still occasionally lean on my family for essential needs. In this new chapter, Yatra Treatment Center graciously covers my first month's living expenses in Thailand. Post that, I'm charting my path, with a heart full of determination but pockets that could use some bolstering. That's where you come in. I'm reaching out to this amazing community to help me secure the laptop that can keep up with our shared mission and maybe a safety net for those unpredictable moments. In gratitude, every donation, whether from kind individuals or benevolent organizations, will be acknowledged in my podcast episodes. This isn't just my calling; it's our collective journey. I've always found ways to push through, but with your support, we can make the path a little smoother. Let's turn ashes into something truly awesome, together.

Adam Zivo: Drug Deaths And The “Safe Supply” Lie

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit public.substack.comOver the past several years, Canada's drug crisis has spiraled out of control with no signs of slowing. From January 2020 to June 2021, nearly 10,000 Canadians died from opioid overdoses – fentanyl detected in an overwhelming majority. This is familiar to us in the U.S., but the Trudeau administration's approach to combating the crisis is usually a few steps ahead when it comes to “harm reduction” approaches – including “Safer Supply,” supervised consumption sites, and decriminalized hard drugs. They offer a preview of what we can expect if we continue on our current trajectory, especially in West Coast cities adhering to harm reduction orthodoxy. Yesterday, we learned the tragic news that a Vancouver man widely known as a drug legalization and safe supply advocate had died – reportedly of a suspected fentanyl overdose. Jerry Martin garnered international media attention in May when he opened a downtown Vancouver kiosk offering a “safe supply” of illicit street drugs to the public. He was evidently testing a grey area under Canada's recently relaxed decriminalization laws and aiming to provoke a debate over legalization. His death begs questions about the limitations of Canada's approach to addiction.To better understand the debate, we spoke to Adam Zivo, a columnist for the National Post based in Toronto and Ukraine. In a recent series of deeply reported articles, he blew the lid off Canada's Safer Supply program – uncovering how weak, faulty data is used to prop up an ideologically driven program. It is another astonishing example of how “the science,” including experimental and novel treatments, can be politicized and enforced through relentless propaganda and the stifling of dissent.
