In my home province of Alberta, they're actually doing a study right now on this very topic. Dr. Keith Humphreys, the chair of the Stanford-Lancet commission, which examined the North American opioid crisis, stated that there is no evidence that this approach will have positive outcomes and that there is significant long-standing evidence that the more opioids there are in the community, the more harm there is in the community.
I think that's very concerning.
