So maybe safe injection sites work? I don't see them mentioning any correlation, but then again, I don't know how long these sites have been operating. Seems to match though.
- And decriminalization
  
  And the fact that dead people can't die.
- Safe injection sites have existed in Vancouver for over 20 years.

Overdoses and drug deaths skyrocketed during covid, so it's no surprise for them to settle down afterwards.
