Saskatchewan switching Methadone patients will cause harms
Saskatchewan going ahead with plan to switch all 3,534 methadone patients to either 🗑Methadose (cherry or sugar free) or 🆗Metadol-D. SK must learn from BC's catastrophic experiment with Methadose & the misery and death it is still causing. Link to read more:
Feb 2014: BC forcibly switched 17,000 methadone patients onto Methadose. Most of us found it didn't have legs, lasting only 12-14 hrs. Ppl got dopesick & had to top up from an illicit supply that was becoming contaminated with fent. BC gov never listened. Link for more information:
"It's all in your heads," government officials told us. But they were gaslighting us. They had zero evidence. In fact, they'd negotiated a hush-hush "exclusive exchange agreement" with the manufacturer of Methadose. We found in FOI documents. Link for more information:
So we sued them all. The Saskatchewan government is playing with fire. It's not too late to simply decide not to introduce this risky measure into the province in the midst of an overdose crisis. Link for more information:
I am tired of this fight. It's been going on eight years. And we're passed methadone now anyway. No government has taken responsibility for this, so other jurisdictions feel free to engage in the same fuckery - because of course, they don't listen to drug users.
📣On methadone in Saskatchewan? They are going to switch you.
My advice:
1. Learn what's going on
2. For fuck's sake, do NOT choose 🍒🗑Methadose. 🆗Metadol-D is better.
3. Organize. It's the only thing that ever works.RiP Chereece Keewatin 💔 and all the other comrades taken by this ghoulish cherry death policy 🍒☠️
