Masset RCMP is warning the public of high potency drugs circulating in communities on Haida Gwaii and reminding people using street drugs to take appropriate precautions.
It has come to the attention of the Masset RCMP that Fentanyl mixed with Crack Cocaine is circulating on Haida Gwaii, which increases the risk of overdose. Masset RCMP has become aware of numerous suspected overdoses in the last number of weeks, one of which has been fatal.
Street doses of Fentanyl can come in various different forms including a variety of colours and textures or pressed into a pill form that can resemble legitimate prescription pharmaceutical. The potency of Fentanyl can vary significantly. Even if you have bought it from the same dealer and it looks the same, it may not be.
In light of the potent Fentanyl circulating, Masset RCMP is reminding people who use drugs to never use alone and to carry Narcan. If you see someone, who you think may be overdosing, call:
Northern Health and the First Nation Health Authority, including Niislaa Naay Healing House Society offer harm reduction services including drug testing kits. Some additional resources can be found on the Ministry of Mental Health and Addictions stop over dose site as well as through the provincial reduction program Toward the Heart.
If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, you can contact B.C. Alcohol and Drug Information and Referral Service Line at 1-800-663-1441 to find services available to you.
