British Columbia’s decriminalization pilot will come to an end after this month.
Health Minister Josie Osborne said Wednesday the pilot didn’t meet expectations and won’t continue after it expires at the end of the month.
B.C.’s three-year exemption from the federal Controlled Drugs and Substances Act came into effect in January 2023.
“The NDP government has finally admitted what British Columbians have known for years: drug decriminalization didn’t work,” said Skeena MLA and addictions critic Claire Rattée in a statement.
