The Drug User Liberation Front (DULF) is a Vancouver, BC based organization that aims to advocate for and provide safe supply to drug users in Vancouver. The organization was founded in 2022 by Jeremy Kalicum and Eris Nyx and operates out of the Downtown Eastside, where it sells dark web heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine that has been tested at the University of Victoria.[1][2] The goal of DULF is to reduce drug overdose deaths in spite of the ongoing opioid epidemic. In 2025, Kalicum and Nyx were found guilty of drug trafficking by the BC Supreme Court, though Justice Catherine Murray added “They want to save lives”. Prior to this, Vancouver Coastal Health had designated DULF as an overdose prevention site.[1]
DULF cooperates closely with the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users.
On April 14th, 2021, activists associated with DULF gathered on East Hastings to give out boxes of heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine that had been tested and clearly labelled with information about the composition.[3]
In 2021, Vancouver City Hall voted in favor of supporting DULF and Vancouver Coastal Health started providing $200,000 in annual funding to DULF for harm reduction.[2]
