Should be interesting to see how things pan out from this.

B.C. court blocks new law against public drug use, warning of ’irreparable harm’

The B.C. Supreme Court has blocked new provincial laws against public consumption of illegal substances, prompting concern from the government and one Lower Mainland mayor who called the decision “pathetic.”

“(This) decision temporarily prevents the province from regulating where hard drugs are used, something every other province does, every day,” he said.

The Restricting Public Consumption of Illegal Substances Act was passed by the legislature in November, allowing fines and imprisonment for people who refuse to comply with police orders not to consume drugs in certain public places.

“In case you were worried about the modest rule of not being allowed to use fentanyl in playgrounds, a judge is there to stop the ’irreparable harm.’ Pathetic!”

“If the restriction doesn’t stand, then we’ve truly entered the Wild West of unrestricted drug use, anywhere and everywhere.”
