Kanada. Vancouver mayor introduces motion to decriminalize illicit drug possession
Mayor Kennedy Stewart is introducing a motion, that if passed, would decriminalize the simple possession of illicit drugs in Vancouver.
Stewart made the announcement on Wednesday morning, alongside Dr. Patricia Daly, Vancouver Coastal Health’s (VCH) Chief Medical Health Officer.
“It’s not a criminal issue, it’s a health issue,” he told reporters, adding that the initiative is “long overdue.” (DH News, Kanada, 18.11.2020)
