Possession of drugs is already unenforcable – not enough cops and too many druggies. And no place to put them if they are arrested. What a silly government BC has
Why not ban the drugs and open treatment centers so these people can get the help they need? naw, free drugs, free food, free bed . it is pathetic how this government supports addiction and at the same time tries to punish it.
Maybe the NDP should stop handing out drugs and actually do something about repeat violent offenders instead of just calling them 'marginalised' and looking the other way.
This country is doomed because politicians try to please everyone. It is time to realize that there are lines not to be crossed. First recreational drugs, now this. what's next? pedos will be legalized ?!
It's like giving an arsonist a lighter after he runs out of matches. Forced treatment and a justice system that isn't full of morons would be a good start .
Yes that will deter them. Junkies are well known to abide laws. The fact that they are released before the ink on their arrest papers is even dry, irrelevant.
Decriminalization and taxation
Yes still more laws that cannot be enforced.
So it's okay to use drugs on the way to the skatepark or playground but just not on the grounds of it?

Who would have guessed that giving away drugs would increase drug use and overdose?
Everyone who wasnt a liberal, ndp.
How pathetic is this headline…
Why would you ever decriminalize drug use? Wow….
Oh Clownada

People can make laws but people have no power to enforce them if they did why are they broken
It wasn’t already banned before ?
How was this not a thing before?!
How she said "City news" at the end…lol
If you are a PM you can't just say,
we are going to do what ever is legal to coax junkies to O.D.
Too little too late as usual
