Episode Details

British Columbia just hit a major milestone — the lowest number of suspected toxic drug deaths in years, down over 50% from pandemic-era highs. This marks the first time since before the pandemic that numbers have dipped this low, despite a decade-long public health emergency. Most victims — 76% male, over two-thirds aged 30 to 59 — are still disproportionately impacted. Fluorofentanyl was found in 67% of cases, while cocaine and fentanyl together were present in 55%. Smoking remains the most common method of use, accounting for 71% of cases.
