The Provincial Government will officially take steps to decriminalize personal possession of drugs in B.C., alongside a commitment of $45-million over three years to fund overdose prevention.
B.C. said the step will address the stigma of drug use, and remove the shame that often stops people from reaching out for help.
“Stigma drives people to hide their drug use, avoid health care and use alone,” said Sheila Malcolmson, Minister of Mental Health and Addictions. “Through provincewide decriminalization, we can reduce the fear and shame that keep people silent about their drug use, and support people to reach out for help, life-saving supports and treatment.”

B.C. takes steps toward drug decriminalization
As British Columbia marks five years since declaring the overdose crisis a public health emergency, its unprecedented toll continues to affect people in every part of the province.
Taking action that is aligned with calls from police chiefs and public health officials, the province is moving forward with measures to combat stigma and turn the tide on this crisis.
To address stigma, B.C. will officially request a federal exemption from Health Canada to decriminalize personal possession of drugs in the province to remove the shame that often prevents people from reaching out for life-saving help.
