Drug User Liberation Front
Canadian addiction organization
The Drug User Liberation Front (DULF) is a Canadian "compassion club" organization in Vancouver, British Columbia, that aims to advocate for and provide safe supply to drug users in Vancouver. The organization was founded in 2020 by Jeremy Kalicum and Eris Nyx and operated out of the Downtown Eastside, where it sold heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine that had been tested for impurities. DULF was involved in protest actions in 2020 and 2021 and began regular operations of its compassion club in 2022. DULF's goal is to reduce drug overdose deaths due to the ongoing opioid epidemic. In 2025, Kalicum and Nyx were found guilty of drug trafficking by the BC Supreme Court as DULF's unlawful distribution of drugs was not covered by the exemptions granted to the group and DULF's operations were shut down by Vancouver police. Before that, Vancouver Coastal Health had designated DULF as both an Overdose Prevention Site and an Urgent Public Health Needs Site.
The charter challenge by DULF founders over drug compassion clubs has ended, with a ruling that could shape Canadian drug policy.
