I cannot believe the Lancet would allow such a conclusion to be made, given that most of the 'Safer' Supply participants appear to also have been on methadone as well. Depressingly bad science.
I often wonder who these ‘addiction specialists’ are. Clearly they do not have the life experience of someone who has been hopelessly addicted to someone who has changed into a person who can life a meaningful happy life…. The strategies around the safe supply and the coddling of addicts does not work - and we see the evidence blatantly in every city across North America. And round and round we go… looking for solutions when the solutions are: prevention (which is almost nil); compassion for those in addiction; and therapeutic, long term, loving centres who can bring people back to who they are. Until then… round and round we go… the saddest thing is watching the youth die because of ‘safe supply’ - there is nothing SAFE about it!
