Indeed, rather than increasing policing and sentences for drug dealers or ramping up border security to prevent the importation of extremely dangerous drugs like fentanyl, the BC government has opted to effectively legalize hard drugs and Trudeau’s government has approved the decision.

Federal Mental Health Minister Carolyn Bennett and British Columbia counterpart Sheila Malcolmson made the announcement at roughly 11 a.m. PT on May 31.

“Today, I’m here to announce that I will be granting British Columbia’s exemption request,” Bennett said. “As of January 31, 2023, adults 18 and older in British Columbia will no longer be subject to criminal charges for the possession of up to 2.5 grams of certain illegal drugs for personal use, and the drugs will not be confiscated.”
