In the second segment McCully chats with Stewart, the former Mayor of Vancouver. In the book Decrim, he outlines how ending the war on drugs and recognizing the overdose crisis as a public health issue will help reduce stigma related to substance use, increase access to health services and decrease harms related to criminalization in British Columbia.

B次元官网网址淲hat weB次元官网网址檙e doing isnB次元官网网址檛 working and what itB次元官网网址檚 doing is costing peopleB次元官网网址檚 lives,B次元官网网址� said Stewart. B次元官网网址淚t is the number one killer of young people in British Columbia now, the largest killer of kids aged 10 to 18. We canB次元官网网址檛 keep our heads in the sand here. You should really listen to the health professionals and the police who have written lots of informed reports on this, and we have to move in the direction that I outlined in the book, decriminalization, safer supply and really treating it like a medical emergency that it is.B次元官网网址�
