“It’s remarkable that there has not been a single #overdose death at a #supervisedconsumption site since the first one opened in Vancouver in 2003. Harm reduction programs have proven themselves to be lifesavers, and anger at the public disorder that is sometimes an unintended consequence doesn’t change that reality.” med-mastodon.com/@picardonheal

Donald Trump’s freeze on foreign aid is hurting one of his major campaign promises: 👉taking on #fentanyl and ending #overdose deaths from the drug in the U.S.
Reuters reports that a United Nations counternarcotics program that seeks to stop fentanyl chemicals from reaching Mexico’s drug cartels
has been held up by Trump’s aid freeze,
citing eight unnamed sources.
The effort gave the Mexican navy training and equipment to boost screening at Mexico’s busiest container port, the Port of Manzanillo.
Two more Mexican ports were supposed to be added to the initiative this month until funding was cut off

Shockingly, trying to arrest our way out of the #overdose crisis STILL doesn't work. Who'da thunk it? "#SanFrancisco police are arresting almost as many people for simple drug use as for drug dealing, and those arrests are up by a 600 percent over the past year—but the approach is not getting people into treatment, a new Board of Supervisors study shows." 48hills.org/2024/11/breeds-opi

#Unemployment has reached the lowest level in >50 yrs. Post-#pandemic #inflation has stopped & gone into reverse. The #StockMarket has soared to record highs. Social indicators too are improving from the #chaos left by #Trump. In each yr of Trump’s presidency—not just pandemic 2020, but the 3 yrs b4 that—the rate of US marriages & childbirths dropped. Under #Biden, marriages & childbirths are rising again. #Overdose #deaths are lessening. The Trump-era #violent-#crime wave is receding at last.

Nearly one in three Americans know someone who has died of a drug overdose, according to a Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health survey.

CBS News has more.
