I’m in Southern Ontario and I work in the shelter system, so I’ve seen a lot over the years. I used to have my own issues — benzos mainly, but opiates too — and that was over 10 years ago. Back then, an 8 mg Dilaudid was basically impossible to find. I never even saw one.

Today I came across a bottle with 63 Dilaudid 8s.
Not at the shelter — somewhere else — but still in a spot where anyone could’ve picked it up.

The name on the bottle was scratched right off.
And the instructions said: “Take 24 tablets by mouth daily.”

Like… what?

This is what safe supply looks like now. A bottle full of 8s, name scratched off, clearly diverted, and someone just dropped it. Seeing that label honestly blew my mind. Not because I wanted them — that part of my life is done — but because the whole scene is so different now. The amount, the way it’s handed out, the way it ends up floating around… it’s wild.

Just one of those moments where your past taps you on the shoulder and you’re like, damn, things have changed.
