B.C. will become first province to decriminalize simple possession of illicit drugs

Adults in possession of up to 2.5 grams of heroin, cocaine, meth, MDMA, fentanyl will not arrested and their drugs won't be seized beginning Jan. 31, 2023

That is great news. Adults have the right to decide what goes in their own bodies.

Weak on crime, hard on law abiding citizens. How liberal of you.

Meth? Fentanyl? What kind of message is this sending?

No surprise, essentially drugs are already decriminalized in BC, the poor drug addicts are having "health problems." The drug dealers are just good Samaritans doing their best to help the poor souls out by providing them with what they need. give them the Order of Canada or something.

The head of the fda said ten years ago legalized drugs become less prevalent as the price goes down and there is less new people coming into the market as they can see what happens. No matter how many trillions you throw at the situation 2% of the population will use to much! Take the money out of it and you cripple the crime associated with it. For 52 years tge war on drugs has increased usage. A new start is applied

This is the Hegelian Dialectic in full effect.

I'm buying land in bc as soon as possible

Shame Shame on this. The only reason I got clean is because the dealer got taken off the street . Me and my husband got clean after 8 years and now I'm putting my homeless mom in a car to live so she can keep doing drugs.!

So when will you become the actual dealers? LOL
