Ministry of Public Safety report shows most respondents who use cannabis like the idea of consumption sites, while there’s opposition from those who don’t
British Columbia has released results of public engagement on the possible approval of cannabis consumption spaces, such as at special events or businesses where marijuana is available for sale.
It says there may be at least 750,000 people in B.C. interested in visiting a cannabis consumption space, based on the engagement and a 2021 survey that estimated 1.4 million residents used the drug in the previous year. The report shows 61 per cent of 730 people randomly selected for a telephone survey supported the consumption spaces, while 34 per cent of more than 15,000 people who responded online felt the same.
It adds that respondents were informed that indoor smoking and vaping would not be permitted in the potential cannabis consumption spaces, but some may not have considered that restriction when submitting their feedback.
