British Columbia’s drug decriminalization policy was associated with a substantial decrease in police encounters for drug possession, while neither decriminalization nor the subsequent partial recriminalization was associated with detectable changes in deaths due to drug toxicity or drug-related hospitalizations, found new research in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) https://www.cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/cmaj.260038.

    thank you.

    Addiction is a symptom of Homelessness just like mental health. We need a housing first initiative with needs based assistance but I don’t see that happening in my life time.
