Powerful sedative hits B.C. drug supply
Description
February 1, 2026
Dr. Alexis Crabtree, medical lead for harm reduction and substance use services at the BC Centre for Disease Control, speaks with Jordan Armstrong about medetomidin now infilitrating the already tainted drug supply. The powerful sedative is now being found in street drugs across B.C., and has led to a recent spike in 911 calls.
