Drugs, the dark web and distributing safe supply in hopes of saving lives
CTV
A group called the Drug User Liberation Front says it is buying and testing illicit drugs to provide to certain drug users in order to prevent deaths associated with toxic drug use.
The illicit drugs were purchased on the dark web by Jeremy Kalicum and Eris Nyx. Together, they founded the Drug User Liberation Front, or DULF as it’s more commonly known.
"DULF is a direct response to Canadian drug policy failures and the massive numbers of overdose deaths we have seen in British Columbia in the last six years now," Nyx said as she placed another box on the table, this one containing crystal methamphetamine.
According to the B.C Coroner Service, six people are dying everyday from toxic illicit drugs, with 2021 beingthe deadliest year on record in the province as there were 2,224 deaths.
"People are dying," said Kalicum in a firm and urgent tone. "We need to stop the death and that is our priority."
