Despite years of official claims that it was “misinformation” to suggest that the black market was being flooded with government-supplied opioids, a leaked B.C. document confirms that the problem is not only happening, but is considered “significant.”
“A significant portion of the opioids being freely prescribed by doctors and pharmacists are not being consumed by their intended recipients,” reads the notes from a presentation prepared by the B.C. Ministry of Health.
It added that these opioids were being trafficked “provincially, nationally and internationally.”
