LANGLEY — British Columbia Premier David Eby says he is "astonished" that Health Canada has granted a cannabis company the right to possess, produce, sell and distribute cocaine.
Eby told a news conference on Thursday about funding for overdose prevention and mental health that, "if Health Canada did in fact do this," the federal agency did so without engaging the B.C. government or notifying the province."It is not part of our provincial plan," he said, referring to the ongoing effort to stem the overdose death rate, with an average of more than six people dying every day in B.C. in 2022. Decriminalization of up to 2.
Adastra said in the statement the amended licence allows the company to “interact” with up to 250 grams of cocaine and to import coca leaves in order to make and synthesize the substance. “Harm reduction is a critically important and mainstream topic, and we are staying at the forefront of drug regulations across the board,” Forbes said. “We proactively pursued the amendment to our Dealer’s License to include cocaine back in December 2022."
This is just the federal government promoting the use of drugs to those who are not on the streets suffering. More tax revenues and again it’s all about the money, not saving lives.
Big deal !! Every human has the right to consume into their body anything they feel that will help them live pain free and or any other illness! Screw the politicians BS control!
Firm has apologized for the erroneous statement.
IS THAT THE PLANTHAT GETS PEOPLE ABUSED, DEGRADED AND LEFT FOR DEAD ;CAUSE I THINK I AM ON THE WRONG PLAN ,OR IS IT THE MONEY PILFERING SCAM I MEAN PLAN YOU WERE AWARE OF IN SOCIAL HOUSING DESTROYING ALL AS YOU WENT; OR CAUSE YOU GOT NO SAY ;LIKE SHOULD BE.
Story is bs, do better than ambushing politicians b4 using skills to flush out bs. Health cda would've sent out statement if agreement. The damage this lazy reporting has done has given right wing shrieking banshees over a day to misinform citizens. Do better
Ask those that know his history and intentions - Michael Forbes is 💩 and has a ❤️ for 💰. FORBESPHARMACY is going to evaluate how the commercialization of cocaine fits in with its business model in an effort to position itself to support the demand for a safe supply? Really?!
This is pure evil and the root was legal pot and legal drugs.
and trudeau says “canada isn’t broken “ ….. so wrong
'Lol'
Why produce or manufacture it, when all they need to do is get it from the local money launderer or free stuff from the Government. Trudeau's Mexicans are a possible source.
Passing the hot potato
Wow Dave_Eby decriminalizes the drugs and is putting on his surprised face? Politicians have no shame.
Unbelievable. This is the feds response to the overdose problem, more drugs, but at least their ‘clean’. This is shattering proof that the system, or those that steer the system don’t have the public’s best interest at heart. I wonder what profit margins are generated.🤔🤯
