What have Vancouver's virtue-signalling liberals been smoking? On Tuesday, the Canadian city will decriminalize HEROIN and CRACK - even though it already has 2,000 homeless addicts and streets too dangerous to walk down

The province of British Columbia— which includes Vancouver — is about to start a three-year experiment to decriminalize all hard drugs.

[Bon of Babble]

Health officials say it’s all about breaking down the ‘barriers and stigma’ of drug addiction and reducing the rising number of fatal overdoses by ensuring that drug users can access ‘pure’ supplies safely manufactured by pharmaceutical companies.

The stoned, like the stupid, are far easier to rule.

Deep States like easy.

Didn’t these people watch The Wire?

[Big Red Badger]

Big Pharma in the street
drug
Biz...?
.
Yuppers!

[FlingWingFlyer]

What they need to do is criminalize Narcan and criminalize any “first responder” caught carrying it. It’s time to cull the herd again.

Didn’t these people watch The Wire?

Or DaVinci's Inquest, that takes place in Vancouver?

I was in Vancouver last June. It is NOT the Vancouver I remembered from 2012 when it was a clean, vibrant city and a pleasure to visit.

In June 2022, it reeked of pot. Pot stores almost everywhere. Druggies all over, homeless, garbage in the streets.

My long term girlfriend and I stayed at a supposedly 5 star hotel near the cruise ships as we were going on an Alaska cruise together. Even there, druggies on the streets, reeked of pot outside and filth everywhere with the homeless. It was a terrible experience. Doing this is going to make Vancouver exponentially worse than it currently is. What a shame. It used to be such a beautiful city.

This is nothing. The next step, if its not being done already, will be to provide the addicts with heroin, needles, free apartments, counseling, and monitored “shoot-up sites” so “they can be monitored and get the health-care they need.”

Its certainly already taking place in NY City.

Any insane progressive scheme can be funded with printed money and massive debt

British Columbia is Canada’s California

[simpson96]

Vancouver is in for a huge mess. Druggies will now flock there. Tourists will begin avoiding it. People with $ will begin moving away.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch of woke, smug, know-it-all liberals.

[bk1000]

I think there will be untold numbers of overdoses initially. It may take such horrific images to get people’s attention.

[cgbg]

This is a great experiment if you are Joseph Mengele—hope they stocked up on body bags at the morgues.

[cgbg]

I would also expect addicts from the rest of Canada and some from elsewhere to flock to Vancouver.

Grab the popcorn—and start bidding on the body bag contracts!

[nuconvert]

I heard a liberal the other day say, they shouldn’t be called addicts, but “people with a substance abuse disorder”.

This may be what it takes for family I have there, to move away.

Uh, IIRC, canaDUH has gone all in on assisted suicide so.....

[I want the USA back]

Translation into English:

You don’t “decriminalize them.” They are already criminal actions, with enormous negative consequences for the public. The cost is transferred to the honest, law-abiding public which pays heavily.

All part of the mad rush to destroy what’s left of Western Civilization.

Canada, having lost any idea of what the hell it is decades ago, is much further along than the USA, which will be the last to crumble into total irrevocable decay.

[rktman]

😂👍💉. Enjoyed it. And yet the “star” eventually OD’d in real life.

[telescope115]

It will make it easy for the drug cartels to set up shop there, if they haven’t already.

[butlerweave]

Sounds like the drug cartels are the government

[Portnoy001]

Gee, almost seems like there might’ve been, I dunno, a SLIPPERY SLOPE when it came to going easy on weed? Who could’ve seen that coming..
