One drug advocate is asking Canadians to mail him their street drugs to find out how fatal they are — even though it’s illegal. “The whole war on drug users is a genocide of the poor.”Mark Haden, an adjunct professor of the faculty of medicine at the University of British Columbia, says this testing also puts pressure on drug dealers. Although more than 6 out of 10 Canadians who die of an opioid overdose in Canada is from British Columbia or Ontario, B.C. Canada Post wrote it has “no affiliation with it and does not support the mailing of illegal substances” because it could pose a risk to postage workers. If these substances are detected in the mail stream, Canada Post will remove them,” it said.
