gross
Is that why everybody goes to Amsterdam for vacation?
@G Know Everybody?
@G Know not everyone bud, never been there in my life
@Mark Twain right 😂😂😂
Kinda vague when you say “hard drugs.”
I can see like a gram of powdered cocaine or mdma, those arent epidemic level drugs. Do more research cause this is too broad. Does this cover drinking aqua velva and huffing gas?
Hope I’m wrong but Imma gonna make a prediction that this doesn’t help the opioid crisis out there….
You’re wrong.
@Punk Rachmaninoff he’s right. If you knew anything about addicts enabling them won’t fix the problem
@Punk Rachmaninoff guess you’ve never done drugs…but this is not the way to help. It will do the opposite. The more you GIVE the more you ENABLE the problem.
I was on opioid medication back in 2021 due to my nerve damage, (gabapentin) that drug should be illegal this is truly devastating that ppl r ok with this
When do we get castle law?
Solve one junkie at a time.
Hey y’all in British Columbia do you have a cracker program 🤔 or problems 🤔
Huge mistake
Why?
@G Know Enabling an addict won’t make them clean. I know because I grew up with one.
@G Know because you are ENABLING the problem.
@G Know d u fr asking y, like u know how dumb u look asking that
@Asil Noncompliance Facts
What a beautiful society!!
Truly sad
Biggest mistake we already have too many druggies
The slippery slope
Yikes!! These officials have no clue. Drug problems are going to FURTHER explode here in BC..DISGUSTING. WASTE OF TAXPAYERS MONEY.
If caught, they should be forced into treatment
I like that idea!!!
Decriminalization and taxation always
There’s no tax on marijuana.
That way the government doesn’t have to be accused of not enforcing the law, and try to get the drug situation under control. Other areas have implemented harm reduction in the same way, and the death rates doubled!!!!
They know that they just don’t care
Wtf
Like it matters
Reduce the Harm by providing that which harms them .
Perfect government logic .
