Canadians are opposed to the decriminalization of personal possession of cocaine and other narcotics in British Columbia, according to a recent Privy Council Office report.

“Though some participants felt decriminalization might represent a positive development a large number were more opposed to the idea,” said the report, titled “Continuous Qualitative Data Collection of Canadians’ Views,” which was first obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
