I shared my opinions on public drug use with Saskatoon Police Chief Cam McBride on the podcast

one of the the points that was really brought forward in British Columbia's uh strategy was how there was an uptick in public use and um you know then I and I hear some some organizations advocating that well if they're using in public they're more likely to be found when they're overdosing now there's what that's the one story that that you of the two that you mentioned now the other story to that is that when I'm going for ice cream on Sunday morning with my family and I come across someone who is is overdosing and if I if I Naran them and that's good and they're safe now but when someone wakes up from being narcanned typically they're not in good shape yeah they are typically not happy they go into withdrawal very quickly and not everybody is trained to do that so to be leaning on the public to provide a a Public Health Service uh without the proper training the reason I'm saying all of this is that I understand the two stories that you're telling and and I think that those are two very interesting lenses to look at this problem through
