'Fentanil zombiji' lutaju ulicama Kanade. Iza ugla igraju Hrvatska i Portugal
September 2025, Seattle, Washington, USA
Thousands of homeless and drug addicts, mostly people using fentanyl, but also crack and crystal meth users, roam the streets of Seattle. They have pitched tents all over the community, but the largest concentration is mainly downtown. Jackson Avenue near Koreatown and Chinatown is also a notorious spot
Critics of city policy say that years of tolerant harm reduction policies have exacerbated the fentanyl crisis.
These days, many people up for the local government elections in November 2025, advocate a dual approach, based on repression and recovery.

September 2025, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Thousands of homeless and drug addicts, mostly people using fentanyl, but also crack and crystal meth users, roam the streets of Vancouver. The largest concentration is on East Hastings Street, in the DTES, Downtown East Side district. People openly smoke and inject fentanyl in the open on the sidewalks of the streets. Some say harm reduction activists that advocated decriminalisation and safe injection sites have turned DTES into the epicentre of the fentanyl epidemic on the West Coast.
