The federal government has provided nearly $5.6 million in funding for five "vending machines" that will dispense medical-grade opioids in British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia. The machines, called MySafe, are akin to ATMs and allow drug users at risk of overdose to get hydromorphone pills dispensed to them after their palm has been scanned to identify its unique vein pattern.

The federal government has provided nearly $5.6 million in funding for five vending machines that will dispense medical-grade opioids in British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia, in order to prevent overdoses.
Darren Fisher, parliamentary secretary to Health Minister Patty Hajdu, says two machines are located in Vancouver, one is in Victoria and one each are in London, Ont., and Dartmouth, N.S.
The machines, called MySafe, are similar to ATMs and allow drug users at risk of overdose to get hydromorphone pills dispensed to them after their palm has been scanned.
Fisher says MySafe allows participants to access a safer drug without fear, shame and stigma, and without contact with anyone, which is all the more essential during the pandemic.
Overdose deaths have spiked during pandemic with many people using along and a more toxic illicit drug supply.
Drug users are assessed by a doctor and a baseline urine sample is collected before they can access safer drugs through the MySafe machines, which are bolted to the floor.

As sensational as it sounds, meh.
It will save the tax payers money in the long run so it works for me.
It only saves money when there's a treatment component.
Biometric opioid dispensing machine first of its kind to address demand for safer drug supply
Vancouver doctor has deliberately moved away from a clinical model because he says his program is not addiction treatment, rather an alternative to the contaminated drug supply

Saving tax payers money through a drastic reduction of social and emergency response services.
This doesnt address the addiction and it is not supposed to, it provides the addict with a clean supply which leads to less need for emergency services and criminal activity.

Everyone in Toronto hates this guy, they say he’s odious and then something about robocalls
Fuckin Toronto
Doing illegal drugs is criminal activist and giving people drugs doesn't prevent overdoses. It prevents overdoses due to contaminated drugs.Biometric opioid dispensing machine first of its kind to address demand for safer drug supply
