Recommendation 11
11
Paragraph: 44
Alarm over synthetic opioid harms and potential shift from heroin dependency.
Conclusion
We are alarmed by the health and social harms of synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl. We are concerned that a reduction in the global supply of heroin will have the effect of people with an opioid dependency turning to even more potent and harmful synthetic opioids, which have contributed to the ongoing opioid crisis in North America.
