  1. Fentanyl is a major problem in BC and beyond. Prince's overdose, while terrible, should bring high profile coverage to a ridiculous problem. Both Fentanyl and W-18 are insanely potent and have no business being used outside of the most dire needs regarding pain management.

      Do snowmobiles have some massive demand I don't know about?

      Portugal is a good example. They decriminalized all drugs there and violent crime has gone down ten fold.

      Portugal may is a good example because they are easy to glorify. They ramped up the amount of money spent on social programs that focused on drug awareness and addiction counselling and other things of that nature in addition to decriminalizing. In a sense, they enabled "responsible" addicts.

       

      Portuguese cities have vans that drive around offering synthetic alternatives (I couldn't find if it was Fentanyl or not) to the drugs people became addicted to, and lineups can be long. Were they slaves to their monkey before or after decriminalization? Perhaps both.   

       

      With the Euro in constant jeopardy there is worry that the social programs thought to be effectively mitigating the dangers of widely available hard drugs would be cut. What would the results of that be? 

       

      We've seen similar cuts here in BC. Insite has been proven to be a success regarding lives saved, but more need to be done surrounding education of both youth and adults before legalization of any form can occur or we'll be in one hell of a $&!# storm.
