I recently spoke to a motion about the drug decriminalization program.
I understand people’s frustrations that there isn’t a single magic cure that could end addictions and the carnage it leaves in its wake. We live in a time when most people know at least one person who grieves over the worst harm of increasingly toxic and lethal drugs: the death of a loved one, a colleague or a neighbour, someone in our community. We all have a responsibility to end the stigma for those who struggle with addictions.
