Overdose deaths rose during BC drug decriminalization

New York Post: Memo to Mamdani: Overdose deaths surged after British Columbia legalized drugs, as pol admits ‘I was wrong’

The Western Standard is reporting that "Federal health figures confirm overdose deaths increased during British Columbia’s drug decriminalization experiment before dropping after police resumed enforcing drug laws."

"Blacklock's Reporter says Department of Health data showed overdose deaths rose 12% under decriminalization, climbing from 2,098 deaths in 2022 to 2,347 in 2024. Deaths then fell 22% to 1,841 in 2025 after police enforcement resumed."

"The new figures align with British Columbia Coroners Service statistics showing overdose deaths jumped 16.5% during the 15-month decriminalization period compared with the previous 15 months." Thankfully, no lie can live forever. 

It's the same with lethal injections sites. When you increase addiction, you increase drug overdoses. When you open a lethal injection site they don;t just use drugs in that site, they use it all around that site. It becomes a free for all zone of lawlessness. The use of harmful drugs increase and as a dissect result, the number of drug overdoses increase. 

It also results in the instant increase in violent crime. 

Decriminalization also failed in Portland.
