A new report by federal researchers has advocated increasing the amount of illicit drugs an individual can legally possess in British Columbia despite an increase in calls for the recriminalization of hard drugs in the province.
British Columbia allows individuals to possess up to 2.5 grams of illicit drugs as part of the province’s decriminalization pilot project. A new study conducted as part of ongoing research by the Canadian Institutes of Health and Research to determine the public health and economic impact of drug decriminalization said that drugs users have complained about the limit and advocated for an increase to legal amounts.
