British Columbia ends drug decriminalization trial due to political pressure and lack of public safety outcomes.
British Columbia’s health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry expressed disappointment over the province’s decision to end its drug decriminalization trial, citing political pressure and stigmatizing rhetoric.
The trial removed criminal penalties for small amounts of illicit drugs, launched amid a crisis that has claimed over 18,000 lives.
Henry acknowledged the program was not a complete solution but highlighted its role in reducing stigma.
Health Minister Josie Osborne confirmed the trial was always temporary and failed to meet expected outcomes regarding public safety.
