BC class-action lawsuit accuses narcotics safe supply program of worsening addiction.

A class-action lawsuit in BC accuses the province's and Canada's narcotics safe supply program of worsening addiction problems. Filed by families of an overdose victim and one in treatment, the claim alleges the program increased addiction risks, leading to more overdoses and deaths. It also accuses the program of diverting drugs to the illicit market and failing to monitor its effects or use clear language about the dangers of the supplied drugs.
