Blacklock’s- Memo Admitted Drug Failure
Cabinet beginning in 2023 suspended enforcement of the Controlled Drugs And Substances Act in B.C. It permitted public possession of up 2.5 grams of narcotics, the first cabinet order of its kind since Parliament criminalized cocaine and opium in 1911. The experiment was to run three years but was cut short last May 7 after 15 months on complaints of public disorder.
Overdose deaths in the 15-month trial period totaled 3,313 compared to 2,843 in the 15 months prior to decriminalization, a 16.5 percent increase. Figures were drawn from the British Columbia Coroners Service.
The criminal code is national law and under the constitution we are all equal under the law. You can’t change the criminal law for one province. If I was convicted on a drug offence somewhere else in Canada I’d take that one to the supreme court.

The supreme eff up court would rule against you, haven’t you been paying attention?
It would be a national crisis if one of the Liberal racist Party’s precious minority groups were most affected, but since it’s mostly killing off “old-stock” canadians the Liberals are quite happy to keep the drugs flowing.
Mediocre Governance.
Only a 16.5 percent increase in overdose deaths?
here’s a revolutionary thought; there is NO ‘solution’ to the drug addiction problem.
there.
now dear ex-spurts, let that be your starting point.
