The Canadian drugs + substances strategy : the Government of Canada's approach to substance use related harms and the overdose crisis.: H134-35/2023E-PDF

"The Canadian drugs and substances strategy (CDSS) is the federal government's comprehensive response to substance related harms and the overdose crisis in Canada. The CDSS is an all-substances, public health and public safety strategy that covers a broad range of legal and illegal substances, such as tobacco, cannabis, alcohol, and opioids and stimulants. The goal of the CDSS is to improve the health and safety of all Canadians by minimizing substance-related harms for individuals, families, and communities. In particular, it prioritizes children and youth who are more susceptible to negative impacts of substance use as they are still growing and developing and focuses on providing them the supports, tools and help they need to prevent, delay and lower the rates of substance use related harms. It also focuses on connecting people to evidence based substance use services and supports, while also keeping communities safe by taking action against criminal organizations who are trafficking and producing illegal drugs"--About the strategy, page 7.
