Last year, a pilot program was launched in a Canadian province allowing adults to carry up to 2.5 grams of hard drugs for personal use. Soaring drug use in public spaces has raised concerns over public safety.
The Canadian province of British Columbia is reversing its policy of allowing the open use of hard drugs in public.
Premier David Eby said Friday that police will soon have the power again to enforce drug use laws in all public places, including hospitals, restaurants, parks, and beaches.
It brings to an end a much-criticized pilot program that allowed the personal use of some illegal drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA, heroin, morphine, and fentanyl.
The program launched in January last year, to remove the stigma associated with drug use that keeps people from seeking help, was supposed to run for three years.
It would be really nice if we’d decriminalize soft drugs anyway. I mean mushrooms actually help addiction, and we have a lot of people struggling with addiction yet mushrooms are illegal mostly because Nixon was scared Tim Learey and other hippies would end his political career.
Which of course Nixon did himself so why are the mushrooms still illegal?
Maybe they are legal in Canada I didn’t see in the article. It only mentioned very hard drugs and cannabis as far as I could tell.
Still, I blame Nixon. He got the whole UN to back the psychotropic drug resolution so he could continue his war in Vietnam
