Last year, a pilot program was launched in a Canadian province allowing adults to carry up to 2.5 grams of hard drugs for personal use. Soaring drug use in public spaces has raised concerns over public safety.

The Canadian province of British Columbia is reversing its policy of allowing the open use of hard drugs in public.

Premier David Eby said Friday that police will soon have the power again to enforce drug use laws in all public places, including hospitals, restaurants, parks, and beaches.

It brings to an end a much-criticized pilot program that allowed the personal use of some illegal drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA, heroin, morphine, and fentanyl.

The program launched in January last year, to remove the stigma associated with drug use that keeps people from seeking help, was supposed to run for three years.

    Oh yeah you absolutely can legally grow your own… but I feel like natives got shafted and they should be able to grow in Mass produce them for sale… preservatives for decent shelf life aren’t necessary you don’t need cigarettes that last 40 years haha people just want it that way I guess… but I’d rather buy cigarettes with nothing but tobacco in them and throw out a couple of moldy ones at the end then smoke fromaldehyde and whatever the fuck else are in the mass produced.

    Anyway I’m being downvoted into Oblivion for existing on this thread I guess so I’m going to peace out

      40 years? I don’t know how long cigarettes without preservatives can last without going stale, but when I used to smoke, I’m sure the cigarettes I smoked had preservatives in them and they still got stale after a few months. And I doubt they’re selling so quickly they can afford to not put in preservatives and risk having to throw out a bunch of product.
