B.C. should consider non-prescribed drug alternatives: top doctor

Addictions minister swiftly rejects Dr. Bonnie Henry's call for access to opioids without a prescription

The B.C. NDP government has swiftly rejected a recommendation from the province's top doctor that B.C. expand its safer supply program and allow people to obtain opioids without a prescription, including at compassion clubs and even retail stores.

However, just over an hour after the report was published, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions Jennifer Whiteside rejected the recommendations.

Whiteside said in a statement that while the province respects Henry's advice, "the province will not go in the direction of compassion clubs and other non-medical models of distributing medications."
There are times when I wonder if people have any idea what causes an overdose, any opioid will kill you, vast numbers of people have died from prescribed opioid's, there are some reasons for decriminalization but preventing overdoses isnt one of them
