Dr. Bill MacEwan has worked for years on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. He discusses how addiction may take hold and that any method of ingesting fentanyl can be fatal. He also highlights some other drugs being found with illicit fentanyl in them. The drugs are not isolated to Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES). Doug Rogers, a Vernon School District Drug and Alcohol Counsellor states, “Whatever drugs are available there, are also available in communities throughout BC and Canada.” He cites research that tells us the younger a child starts (drug use), the more likely they will have a problem as they age and that fentanyl can kill even when used for the first time. Finally, an indigenous educator, Melanie Jorgensen, comments that everyone is at risk from drugs, including fentanyl.
