You keep saying that in the face of multiple news reports indicating otherwise.

You said that the multiple news reports (CBC, National Post, etc.) about drug use in hospitals and the memo telling nurses to allow usage and weapons sent out by BC health region were lies in the media. That there was no memo because you didn't see yourself. You were wrong - which is fine, we all are a lot of time.
And very first part of the official memo points specifically to decriminalization as to the reason for the change in direction for nurses to allow weapons and drug possession and illicit drug use in hospitals.

Then you dismiss the news as being just a tiny ####ty part of the province and that it's not a widespread issue at hospitals across the province.
Then further news reports of first hand accounts from nurses across the province of the state of affairs regarding illicit drugs and drug use at BC hospitals. Nurses and their union explicitly indicate that the issue has gotten progressively worse since decriminalization. It would only be logical.
In fact, the news is so bad that the BC government has now had form a task force this week to now decide to formally allow illicit drug use in every BC hospital. Again, the nurses union themselves indicate that drug usage in hospitals has only increased since decriminalization.
I understand and commend the empathy for addiction sufferers. But don't you think you're being chronically stubborn/blind to some of the results of decriminalization and normalization of drug usage here?
