Trudeau Effectively Decriminalizes Drugs in BC

Didn't work with weed (black market is as strong as ever and the govs are making not even enough money to support the infrastructure to regulate the industry), won't work in BC.

The only way to get these people INTO the system is by governmental force. By not doing that, there is zero chance of rehab, but 100% a chance of our tax dollars being spent on initiatives that don't work.

#albertaseparation as fast as we can

Maybe they can all die over there and Alberta can take over the land.

I dont have an issue with this. Drug enforcement is a waste of resources.

Agreed. Let the Police focus on real issues.

An influx of druggies into BC from the prairie regions is a win-win. Can we subsidize one-way bus tickets into the Okanagan/GVA?

As stated, it was the only method available to force people to deal with themselves.

This won't lower police issues. The funding will still be there one way or another.

That's one way to tackle overpriced housing? Let's turn the whole province into E Hasting.

Should have only made it on the island, and put in PEI style free tickets to the island but pay to come back.

Problem solved

I'm totally on board with this.

I’ve always seen drug crimes as a nice catch all way to put people who are a nuisance to society behind bars away from Productive members of society.

Too bad LE have lost that tool in their toolbox.

If that was the goal of those laws, then it has been spectacularly ineffective.
If the goal was to help cure the additions, it's been spectacularly ineffective.

I'd say in general, drug laws have been spectacularly ineffective for EVERY stated goal.

It's snowing in BC.

I guess we will see if things get worse or better.

I highly doubt they are getting better.

100%.

[redline]

how does trudope do anything on a provincial level?

drug enforcement is a waste...

on weed you need to price the criminals out of the market. you can have a legal market twice the price as it is on street...

He approved Horgans request to make the entire province a safe injection site.

Any adult in the room would have said no. But not Justin.

He didn’t have the balls to just actually decriminalize drugs. He had to do it like the snake he is.

Good, this should be national policy. I hate to give any credit to that BC government but credit where it's due.
