「合法化 / 非刑事化」不等於「安全無害」

不要因為身邊人都說「好chill」、「合法又平常」就放下戒心。情緒和腦部的傷害往往是慢慢累積、難以逆轉。

• 若你或家人本身已有壓力、失眠、抑鬱或焦慮傾向，更不應以大麻來「自己醫自己」，這往往會令問題更深、更難處理。

食唔食，由我決定。
「凡事我都可行，但不都有益處」——不要讓任何物質捆綁我們的心志和自由。

很多人以為「大麻＝放鬆、減壓、幫助睡眠」，

但研究顯示使用愈多，抑鬱、焦慮的比例反而一起上升。

不要因為身邊人都說「好chill」、「合法又平常」就放下戒心。情緒和腦部的傷害往往是慢慢累積、難以逆轉。

很多人以為，大麻可以「舒壓、放鬆、幫助睡眠、減輕焦慮，甚至令人更快樂」。但近年的研究數字卻呈現相反方向：大麻使用率愈高，抑鬱、焦慮等情緒問題的比例也愈高，而且是一起向上升，特別是在青少年和年輕成年人身上更明顯。

BEYOND NALOXONE: A critical warning about the limits of life-saving tools. ⚠️
重要警告 - 超越納洛酮：被作為救生工具的局限性

雖然納洛酮 (Naloxone) 是我們社區中至關重要的救生工具，但它並非應對當前毒品危機的「萬靈丹」。最近的報告顯示，動物鎮靜劑美托咪定 (Medetomidine) 正大量湧入街頭。由於它不屬於鴉片類藥物，納洛酮無法扭轉其藥性。 我們日益擔心，廣泛推廣納洛酮可能會無意中造成一種虛假的安全感，導致某些人忽視了現今非法毒品極高的不可預測性。請務必意識到，任何安全急救包都無法完全保護您免受含有獸用鎮靜劑的毒品侵害，這些物質會導致長時間昏迷及造成腦部損傷的缺氧情況。

While Naloxone is a vital tool in our community, it is not a "magic bullet" for the current toxic drug crisis. Recent reports show the animal sedative medetomidine is flooding the streets—and because it is not an opioid, Naloxone will not reverse its effects. There is a growing concern that the widespread promotion of Naloxone may unintentionally create a false sense of security, leading some to overlook the extreme unpredictability of illicit drugs today. It is important to realize that no safety kit can fully protect you from a supply contaminated with veterinary tranquilizers that cause prolonged unconsciousness and brain-altering oxygen deprivation.

Public Awareness is Key: We must move beyond relying solely on rescue tools and recognize the life-threatening reality of the illicit market. Every time a substance is used, the risk of encountering an irreversible poison is present. Please educate yourself and your loved ones: the only way to be truly safe is to understand the lethal nature of today's drug supply.

What more do you think can be done to raise awareness about these hidden dangers in our community?

公眾意識是關鍵： 我們不能僅僅依賴急救工具，必須認清非法市場危及生命的現實。每一次使用非法物質，都存在遇到「無法挽救」之毒素的風險。請教育您自己和身邊的人：真正安全的唯一方法是了解當今毒品供應的致命本質。

您認為還可以採取哪些措施來提高社區對這些潛在危險的認識？

URGENT DRUG ALERT: Record-breaking spike in B.C. drug poisonings. 🚨
British Columbia has just hit a staggering historical high for paramedic-attended drug poisonings, with over 1,100 calls in a single week. This dangerous surge is being driven by a highly toxic supply that is overwhelming emergency responders across the province.

Health officials are warning that a potent animal tranquilizer called medetomidine is being mixed into the unregulated drug supply. This substance causes prolonged, deep sedation and—most critically—does not respond to Naloxone. Please share this immediately to help save lives. Stay informed on the latest warnings here:

The B.C. Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) has issued a province-wide drug alert, noting new substances in the unregulated drug supply are putting people at risk province-wide.

With the federal government pulling back from BC’s decriminalization trial, many are reflecting on where this “well‑intended” but misguided policy went wrong. Addressing addiction with empathy matters — but empathy without structure risks deepening the very harm it aims to heal.
The right approach must not only focus on treatment but also on reversing the trend: reducing the number of people who become dependent, preventing others from trying drugs in the first place, and helping everyone — especially youth — clearly see the danger and destructiveness that drugs bring. At the same time, we can still be generous and heartfelt in supporting those already struggling, offering real pathways to recovery and renewed hope.
Let’s transform this policy failure into a turning point. Instead of “harm reduction,” Canada needs a balanced approach that combines compassion with consequence — helping people find real hope, and our communities some peace again. True success and meaningful change will depend on partnership across every level of government and the courage of everyday citizens who choose to speak up, get involved, and stand together for a drug‑free, healthier, and more hopeful future.
What kind of recovery‑centered system would truly give people the new life they deserve?
