Confiscations, public health obstructions, and perpetual displacement
Our findings illustrate how harmful law enforcement practices that target people who use criminalized drugs, particularly those relying on public spaces for survival, persisted during the evolving drug policy periods. Together, these law enforcement practices along with the lack of understanding regarding the shifting Decriminalization Pilot, may have undermined the potential success of a policy dedicated to decriminalizing drug possession in BC

To address this gap, our aim was to explore how the increase of benzodiazepines in the unregulated drug …

To address this gap, we conducted 21 semi-structured interviews with MNBSWs in Brit…
