Century of Lies

10/15/24 Respecting ...People Who Use Drugs

This week on Century of Lies: Respecting the Rights and Dignity of People Who Use Drugs. From 2020 until the arrests in 2023, the Drug User Liberation Front provided a safe supply of drugs to a small number of people who use drugs in that part of northern Abya Yala known colonially as Vancouver, BC. The drugs were sourced via the Dark Web, purity and potency tested with a mass spectrometer. DULF used a compassion club model, members were carefully screened, prices were kept low. No deaths resulted from the use of drugs obtained through DULF. Two of DULF’s organizers and public spokespeople, Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum, were arrested in October 2023 and charged in May of 2024.
