2022 saw 109,000 drug overdose deaths and it is projected to surge to 165,000 by 2025.
The study authors call for a re-evaluation of current drug enforcement strategies. Authors correctly note that it is crucial to recognize that the confiscation of drugs without addressing the underlying issues only exacerbates the risks faced by individuals who use drugs. The disruption of the drug supply chain through seizures can lead to a dangerous shift in drug potency and quality, thereby increasing the likelihood of overdose.
The issue of drug overdose will not be resolved with better policing or better “public safety partnerships” with police. A truly transformative approach to public health and overdose would require a completely. It would necessitate the abolition of the entire system of policing that only causes harm to the poor and working class. But we must be clear: we cannot abolish the police under capitalism.
