Abstract: ADAW attempted to get a nice definition of “safe supply” last month; typically a quiet news time, August is perfect for delving into such projects. Safe supply has apparently been rejected as a phrase because even the harm reduction community recognizes that opioids are not “safe,” but that drugs which do not contain illicit fentanyl, for example, are “safer” than those that do. The entire question arises as a response to the opioid overdose epidemic which shows little sign of abating in the United States.
