Thank you both for being here. I really appreciate it.
I'm going to start with you, Dr. Humphreys.
You cited that prescribing for pain does have many ethical problems. I think that's not really what's happening with safe supply. Safe supply is prescribed to people who are already consuming large amounts of fentanyl. It's monitored very closely.
Dr. Humphreys, maybe you can explain what your experience is with safe supply programs. Have you spoken with any safe supply clinicians to understand their protocols, or are you basing your statements on others' anecdotal statements?
