A single dose of a form of fentanyl ordered online by accused dealer Darcy Oake was enough to send his former friend and alleged victim to hospital for days, a Yellowknife court heard through testimony on Thursday.

Taking the stand at the 24-year-old manSA国际影视传媒檚 trial, OakeSA国际影视传媒檚 former friend testified she was with the accused at his fatherSA国际影视传媒檚 Borden Drive home in October 2016 when he ordered fentanyl online from China.

Oake is charged with criminal negligence causing bodily harm after the woman overdosed on drugs allegedly provided to her by the Yellowknife man.

He pleaded guilty to trafficking furanylfentanyl, a less potent form of fentanyl, on Monday.

Oake pleaded not guilty to all other charges, including importing and possessing the opioid for the purpose of trafficking.

The witness, an ex-addict who said she often visited Oake to consume crushed up fentanyl pills, testified she waited excitedly for the online order to arrive SA国际影视传媒� texting her then close friend several times for updates.

She said Oake, in debt, planned to sell the drug once it came to Yellowknife.

Oake ordered the form of fentanyl, along with Xanax, from the website, spending $500 to $600 in Bitcoin, the woman testified. On Nov. 23, 2016, Oake texted her to tell her the shipment had arrived, and she went to his home to get high, the woman said.

She told the court she walked into OakeSA国际影视传媒檚 garage, where a line of fentanyl SA国际影视传媒� the length of a pinky finger SA国际影视传媒� was waiting for her.

Oake, who told the woman heSA国际影视传媒檇 overdosed on the drug earlier that day, advised her to be SA国际影视传媒渞eally, really careful with it,SA国际影视传媒� testified the witness.

The next thing the woman remembers is waking up at her home, unable to walk, she said.

SA国际影视传媒淚 had to crawl to the bathroom,SA国际影视传媒� she said, telling the court the back of her neck was left numb for months after the overdose.

The woman recalled being carried to a car and driven to Stanton Territorial Hospital by her roommate. When she awoke - a day and a half later - her mother was sitting by her side, the witness said as she wiped away tears.

She could see Oake, who had overdosed again, lying in a hospital bed across the hall. The two havenSA国际影视传媒檛 spoken since, she said.

OakeSA国际影视传媒檚 alleged victim said she told her mother she had more of the drug she overdosed on in her purse, and the police were called to the hospital, where the drug was found wrapped in a piece of paper.

SA国际影视传媒淚 was scared I was going to do more if I kept it,SA国际影视传媒� she said.

An investigation into a rash of suspected fentanyl overdoses brought to OakeSA国际影视传媒檚 Borden Drive residence on Nov. 25, 2016. He was found unresponsive after overdosing in his bedroom that morning, the court heard earlier this week.

Police seized a bag containing a white, crystal-like substance suspected to be fentanyl in OakeSA国际影视传媒檚 dresser SA国际影视传媒� triggering a large-scale response that saw hazmat suit-clad members of the Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement and Response (CLEAR) unit search the property.

The trial resumes today.
