Those who do drugs should suffer from stigma
Well, come on now Premier Horgan, is “your” plea to the federal government for the purpose to “battle addiction”, or to remove the “stigma” of doing drugs and being arrested for possession? (Horgan asks Trudeau to decriminalize illicit drugs to reduce stigma, deaths)
It sure as hell isn’t going reduce deaths and it doesn’t take much grey matter to know that won’t work! Are you suggesting that drug addicts will stop doing drugs if they are not stigmatized? Come on, please spare me!
Pray tell, exactly on whose behalf are you making such a plea to our prime minister to “legalize” something that is “illicit”? I’m sure as hell not in agreement and I’m willing to bet that if this came to a plebiscite vote across this nation it would be rejected.
So how dare you subject all Canadians to this insane idea. Those who do drugs and peddle small amounts should suffer from a stigma including jail time.
