Portugal has provided a very clear road map of how to make these programs work. It involves medical treatment and non-criminal solutions, but also mandatory compliance and consequences for non-compliance.

It's still illegal to sell drugs on the street in B.C. Personal use is the only thing that's been decriminalized.
The RCMP is Helen Lovejoying the #### out of this because police love the easy arrests that addicts provide them. Is it bad that safe supply drugs are finding their way into the hands of street dealers? Sure. It's also still better if safe, clean drugs are being sold on the street vs. fentanyl-laced drugs.
