As a Canadian I can tell you, no. This year British Columbia on average has 5 deaths per day from fentanyl OD, rising from 3/day from just 2 years ago.
The majority of deaths are normal people who used contaminated recreational drugs in their home, as oppose to street junkies that are quickly revived by ambulances.

- guardiangod 4y agoIn an ironic way, yes. People who quietly OD in their house die while junkies are quickly noticed by their street pals and revived (and would often fight the paramedic for breaking their high.) (Apparently it's now 6 deaths/day, up from 5/day in 2021).
