CONTACT YOUR POLITICIANS
While the criminal status of recreational drugs is determined at the federal level, contacting politicians in all levels of government can help to advance this goal of decriminalization and improved treatment for people who use drugs.
"The current criminal justice-based framework in B.C. and in Canada creates barriers to accessing treatment services."

Provincial Health Officer of BC
