‘Who wouldn’t want pure cocaine?’: the radical plan to prevent overdoses with better drugs

‘Who wouldn’t want pure cocaine?’: the radical plan to prevent overdoses with better drugs

The article discusses a radical plan proposed by the Drug User Liberation Front in Vancouver to prevent drug overdoses by providing users with pure, high-quality cocaine. The plan is based on the idea that the harms of drug use are often exacerbated by the lack of quality control and the unpredictability of illicit substances. The article also includes a personal anecdote about the author's experiences with the aftermath of the Charlottesville attack, which triggered a mental breakdown. The overall message of the article is that the current approach to drug use, which often blames users for the problems caused by the broader capitalist system, is flawed and that alternative approaches, such as the one proposed by the Drug User Liberation Front, should be considered.
