Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has painfully illustrated what people who use drugs have long known: that the current overdose crisis is more of a “drug poisoning crisis,” and that until a regulated supply of opioids, stimulants, and other substances becomes available, people who use drugs will continue to face extraordinary risk – and many will die.
