B.C. drug club co-founder surprised by lack of 'urgency' from Health Canada on crisis

The Drug User Liberation Front sought to reduce overdoses by supplying pharmaceutical-grade drugs despite regulatory barriers and reliance on dark web sources, with $200,000 annual funding.

  • Jeremy Kalicum, co-founder of Vancouver's Drug User Liberation Front , stated he is surprised by Health Canada's lack of urgency regarding the toxic drug crisis, as it prevents sourcing pharmaceutical-grade substances from suppliers.
  • Kalicum testified that the club had to resort to the dark web for drugs and aimed to create a compassion club to test drugs and reduce overdoses.
  • During the court proceedings, Kalicum claimed that media coverage led to their arrests, despite the intention of promoting transparency about the club's operations.
  • The Drug User Liberation Front is challenging the constitutionality of drug possession laws, stating that enforcement is harmful to people needing protection.
