The regulation project: Tools for engaging the public in the legal regulation of drugs

Abstract: Lack of legal regulation and oversight of scheduled drugs in Canada has led to an unsafe drug supply responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands. In addition to contributing to the worst unregulated drug poisoning crisis in Canada's history, the policy framework prohibiting non-medical access to certain drugs has exacerbated numerous public health and safety concerns. An alternative approach to prohibition is for government to retake control of the currently illegal drug market through legal regulatory mec… Show more

A safer supply reduces crime and improves health outcomes (e.g., reduction in abscesses, infectious disease transmission, and mortality) in individuals with a SUD (e.g., Bernstein et al, 2020; Fairgrieve et al, 2018; Fleming et al, 2020). Finally, if results from laboratory investigations described in previous sections translate to humans, a more predictable supply could even reduce overall drug intake.…”
