Last year, a pilot program was launched in a Canadian province allowing adults to carry up to 2.5 grams of hard drugs for personal use. Soaring drug use in public spaces has raised concerns over public safety.
The Canadian province of British Columbia is reversing its policy of allowing the open use of hard drugs in public.
Premier David Eby said Friday that police will soon have the power again to enforce drug use laws in all public places, including hospitals, restaurants, parks, and beaches.
It brings to an end a much-criticized pilot program that allowed the personal use of some illegal drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA, heroin, morphine, and fentanyl.
The program launched in January last year, to remove the stigma associated with drug use that keeps people from seeking help, was supposed to run for three years.
Yeah I noticed the in public part that makes sense I don’t need to do my cocaine out in public haha but also yeah I think I’m going to trust cocaine a lot faster than I would trust meth or amphetamine haha that’s just fucking crazy what the hell haha as long as your cocaine’s pure you’re fine.
I do about 2 to 3 g a day of pure stuff and it’s basically just a coffee replacement
Expensive fucking coffee replacement.
Yeah but I enjoy it a lot more
I’m just going to chalk this up to you trolling instead of using 3 grams of cocaine daily for seven years which would be about $800,000 worth and claiming you don’t have a problem or health issues.
Good for you? Lol I have nothing to prove to people on Lemmy
Sounds good.
And if you’re buying in bulk, it’s not anywhere near $800,000
What are you trying to prove to me, a person on Lemmy?
I just like seeing your name pop up in my notifications, Satan’s maggoty cumfart.
???
I wasn’t talking about methamphetamine specifically. Amphetamine and methylphenidate are regularly prescribed for daily use. We know them to be relatively safe in sensible doses. Cocaine destroys your heart and your nose. Lookup any ranking of drug danger, cocaine is up there with meth and alcohol. It’s one of the most addictive too.
If you’re doing that much daily you need to see a doctor and get addiction counselling. Legitimately please get help before you do yourself serious damage. Unless you’re talking about coca tea of course in which case carry on. I don’t think that’s you though.
There’s also no such thing as pure cocaine in western counties pretty much. Unless you live where it’s produced you aren’t getting a pure product. Even then I would be skeptical if you know anything about the people who produce it. Go get your stuff tested at a lab if you don’t believe me.
I’ve been doing it that much for 7 years I’m fine. Noses still fine, doctors say I’m physically in shape and my heart is fine. I have done my research on cocaine, I’d rather do it than any other drug, and I would rather do it than drink. And yes, you can be sensible about where you source your cocaine from. Not everyone is out to murder their customer base with impure shit. Or lose money by selling people impure shit.
Yeah some cocaine is less pure than others but pretty much anything you buy on the streets isn’t going to be completely pure. Even if the people you buy from are legit the people they buy from might not be, even the producers do dodgy shit. Do you seriously trust everyone in the chain from here to Columbia? There are websites online where you can see the results of lab testing from drugs sent in from various different countries. I would read one of those and disillusion yourself.
It’s also definitely not as safe as you make out even if it was pure. You’re kidding yourself if you think it is.
Does your doctor even know what you get up to?
I’m not buying it on the streets. Yes the doctor knows.
Then where are you getting it from then? You grow and process it yourself?
