“We as people have a choice on how we’re going to view this… “We can either support people or we can punish people. But punishing people has never worked out in favour for people to get better in our society.” Please take a few minutes to listen to the talk I gave at a recent screening of the film Toxic. And watch for it to come to a screen near you soon (I’ll let you know.) #ToxicDrugCrisis

If you want to know about the truth behind the toxic drug crisis and live in the Vancouver or neighboring municipalities please join myself, @DiamondheadFilm , and Johnny’s Heart of Gold foundation to watch a private screening of Toxic. March 20th Inlet theatre Port Moody. Doors open at 6pm/ film starts at 7. Toxic is an unflinching look at what decades of failed drug policy, lack of mental health services and affordable housing has created. Tickets are 25 dollars and 100% of profits go towards helping addiction and mental health services. Come say hi everyone!

Some comments from last nights private sold out release of #Toxic @VIFFest "Poignant" "Powerful" "Emotional" "A must watch". Substance use, homelessness and addiction exists in every community across 🇨🇦 and this film tells the truth behind the poisoned drug supply. Thanks to everyone who worked on and supported this over the last few years.

We need to change how we talk about drugs bc the drug supply won't change. Ppl are using drugs in every community, corporation & school district. If you haven't had me in to speak to your employees or students, you need to. Watch the video to find out why youtu.be/TIaB5xV0VPM
