Article Synopsis
- The opioid overdose crisis in the USA is worsening due to law enforcement strategies targeting unregulated drug markets, which inadvertently push users towards riskier suppliers and unknown drug potency.
- A study in Indianapolis showed that neighborhoods suffering from structural racism and economic issues experienced higher rates of non-fatal overdoses, particularly after drug seizures by law enforcement.
- The research indicates that such seizures can significantly increase the likelihood of subsequent overdoses in the community, suggesting a need for decriminalization and increased support for safer drug use practices.
