Committee on Drugs Use

Decriminalisation, Depenalisation, Diversion and Legalisation of Drugs: Discussion (Resumed)

7:00 pm

Ms Fiona Wilson:

Trafficking is what we would see youth being exploited to do. It still is and always has been illegal in British Columbia and Canada, with respect to illicit drugs, so that was never contemplated by the exemption. The exemption was simply for personal possession for personal use. Our Controlled Drugs and Substances Act would apply to youth just like it did prior to the exemption.
