BritishColumbia pilot program decriminalizes possession of certain drugs Canada
, and ecstasy has been decriminalized as part of a 3-year pilot project in the Canadian province of British Columbia . Citizens may possess up to 2.5 g of these drugs for personal use.
"You're not interrupting the toxic drug supply at all through this measure," said Jenkins."People are going to continue to access those same illegal, toxic drugs, so overdose deaths are likely not to change all that much." To potentially produce a significant decline in overdose deaths, the federal government could consider duplicating its previous experience."Some advocates argue that what we really need is a model akin to what's been done by the federal government with cannabis in 2018," said Jenkins."That is a model of legalization and regulation. You are removing the criminalization of substance use, but you are regulating it in a way where access is controlled.
