Does a person choose their opiate of choice like I want clean dose measured fentanyl or does the government steer to less addictive opiates?
I’m fascinated about the logistics of this because you need to deliver the same relief as the street drug and the same or lower cost or the market will continue to exist but at the same time still want to encourage use.

Maybe they would prescription or referral only. Pharmacare was mentioned so maybe they are covered or highly subsidized. The big draw for people managing their addictions would be having a safe supply even if more expensive or less potent (both within reason). I imagine this is less likely to appeal to a desperate junkie?
