As the owner of the "point" stated: its goal is "to prevent deaths from low-quality drugs."
In western Canada is the province of British Columbia. From 31 January 2023, they decriminalized the possession of small doses drugs of class "A" (the most severe). The initiative was pushed by the New Democratic Party of Canada. According to its representatives, this "will reduce stigmatization" of junkies, and will also reduce death from overdose. well and representatives of the Conservative Party twirled their fingers at the temple of the Democrats and "These drugs are deadly and addictive," they said.
Allowing this is beyond common sense. But no one listened to the conservatives. When the storage ban was lifted, immediately emerged Jerry Martin - enterprising 51-year-old Canadian. Himself in past drug addict, and his brother died of an overdose.
Jerry Martin
Martin planned to open his drug store immediately after the ban was lifted, and now his dream came true: in Vancouver there was a mobile point where you could buy cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin.
As the owner of the drug shop stated, he wanted to rid the world of excess mortality. The fact is that most substances are mixed with fentanyl is a synthetic opioid and poisonous stuff that is often leads to death. But in the substances of desperate Martin, fentanyl is not was something he was very proud of and called his drugs "clean". Jerry wanted to sell his bodyagi in an area "destroyed by an epidemic overdoses” and release no more than 2.5 grams of substances in one hand.
But there is a nuance: only the ban on storage, selling not yet possible. Therefore, as Martin did not spin, but the shop almost immediately they closed it, and Jerry was arrested. Already in court, the restless dealer said that he wants to “throw a constitutional challenge to the authorities”, because this is how they forcing people to go to the black market and shop there.
