- A year of drug decriminalization in B.C.
- Date posted
- 1 month ago
- Description
- It’s been a year since B.C. got permission to decriminalize possessing small amounts of some street drugs. At the time, B.C.’s Minister of Mental Health and Addictions said this would “break down the stigma that stops people from accessing life-saving support and services.”
