Committee on Drugs Use

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

9:30 am

Mr. Tom Murray:

Yes. We all have a consultation room but for those with high demand there would undoubtedly need to be second rooms and there would need to be supports put in place for that. The other thing is that pharmacists are in a unique position for community education. Pharmacists would like to be involved in community education in a broader context around mental health and drug addiction issues.
