Canadians who sold purer drugs in bid to stop overdoses challenge charges

Two Canadians activists who illegally sold untainted hard drugs in an effort to reduce fatal overdoses have launched a legal challenge to federal drug laws.

Jeremy Kalicum and Eris Nyx, co-founders of the Drug User Liberation Front (DULF), were charged in June with drug trafficking-related offences by police in Vancouver.

They had made headlines two years ago for offering pure cocaine, meth and heroin to drug users, saying they wanted to prevent deaths from a supply tainted with other substances.
