Eastern Ontario city says 23 people overdosed since Tuesday afternoon
Overdoses are rising — but resources to help are scarce, Belleville, Ont., mayor says
Neil Ellis, mayor of Belleville, Ont., says his community doesn't have nearly the resources they need as overdoses rise. When people in his community are hit with an overdose, he says, they are 'admitted to the hospital and put back out on the streets.'
Mike Juby was outside Bridge Street United Church in Belleville, Ont., on Tuesday afternoon when people suddenly started dropping to the sidewalk all around him.
There were "ambulances left, right and centre" as paramedics loaded people onto stretchers and rushed them to hospital, he recalled.

I’m not so sure the boyzindahood can handle that.
Actually, fentanyl is dosed in micro-grams.
I guess the new shipment came in and the cut was a little weaker.
The most-sensitive laboratory scales I used could do 0.0001 oz. Not even close to a microgram.
new supplier???
