The last thing Matthew Bonn remembers from that hazy July night was going to wash his face after snorting three lines of fentanyl. He woke up with an IV in his arm, surrounded by police, paramedics and concerned friends, and was later transported to hospital. Bonn has been using fentanyl, a powerful synthetic opioid, since 2012, but he said this time hit him unlike anything before. It forced him to face a reckoning about his drug use. “I just realized I have so much to lose ... I didn’t want to become a statistic.” Bonn, a harm reduction advocate in Halifax, could easily have become one of Canada’s record number of overdose deaths — a trend that, like every aspect of life in the past six months, has been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. But as the attention of governments and policy-makers is focused on the toll the virus has taken on hospitals and long-term-care homes nationwide, the opioid epidemic continues to kill in the shadow
