The RCMP is Helen Lovejoying the #### out of this because police love the easy arrests that addicts provide them. Is it bad that safe supply drugs are finding their way into the hands of street dealers? Sure. It's also still better if safe, clean drugs are being sold on the street vs. fentanyl-laced drugs.

I can guarantee you that police do not love let alone enjoy or are indifferent to arresting drug addicts. For what? So you can risk getting stuck with a needle? So you can worry endlessly that the addict you lodged in cells may have smuggled in more drugs and could possibly OD resulting in a police watchdog investigation, coroners inquest, civil or criminal charges? Absolutely patently false. The overwhelming majority of police view this as a public health crisis and want next to nothing to do with it beyond assisting local health authorities.
