It's been five years since the province of B.C. declared opioid-related overdose deaths as a public health emergency. Activists and advocates have been urging governments for the decriminalization of drugs. Yet, little has been done to implement this evidence-based approach.

Thank you to today's experts: Scott Bernstein (@scott_bern) from the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition (@CANdrugpolicy), and Caitlin Shane (@caitlin_Ona) from Pivot Legal Society (@pivotlegal). Psst!
