Drawing fire from Opposition, drug decriminalization could be a key separation point between the BC NDP and BC United election platforms.
Less than four months after B.C. was given the ability to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of illegal drugs, there are signs that changes are coming to the policy.
More specifically, he agreed that municipalities that are concerned that decriminalization has led to a spike in the use of illegal drugs in public parks and schoolyards need to have those concerns listened to. People using illegal drugs in parks and playgrounds is one of those “unintended consequences” that those so-called “guardrails” were supposed to keep at bay, presumably.
To B.C.’s south, the decriminalization of illegal drugs is shaping up to be a key election issue in the one state that has adopted it as a policy – Oregon. It is also becoming a political football in Washington state, where decriminalization may soon be the new policy.
