"The War on Drugs" didnt work and "Free Drugs" doesnt seem to be working so maybe we shouldn't act as Ned Flanders' parents.

Decrim has only been in place since January 2023. Meanwhile, we've had less than four years of safe supply and the uptake has been incredibly slow due to the hurdles people have to jump over to access it. I'm happy to explain some of the hurdles if people are genuinely interested. We do know from the B.C. Coroner's Service that people who access safe supply are generally not dying from it.
Considering how long it takes government to implement, staff, and then adjust programs, don't you think it's just a wee bit premature to declare these measures failures?
