Methadone poisoning deaths rise 7 fold in the USA.

Click on the chart and graph below to read:





The Center for Disease Control in the USA has released shocking new stats regarding drug overdose deaths. We, in Canada/Ontario, apparently do not have access to this kind of data. One can only assume that the stats would apply here also as Methadone use in both countries has exploded, especially with the proliferation of private, for profit clinics. Interestingly, it hasn't seemed to reduce deaths from other drugs. I hope someone in our Province is trying to keep track of this!
