But don't worry, Health Canada and the Department of Indian Affairs is coming to the rescue.
On many reservations the rate of addiction approaches the 100% level among the adult population. So the folks in Ottawa are going to help by taking away Oxycontin!
That's right. No addiction counselling, no methadone replacement therapy, no nothing.
Tens of thousands of Native Canadians are being given the opportunity to quit their Oxy addictions by going cold turkey overnight.
Some Native leaders are warning that as existing supplies run down there will be a massive disruption of the social fabric of some of these isolated and impoverished communities.
There is almost guaranteed to be a crime and suicide wave of epic
proportions.
So far the warnings are falling on deaf ears.
