That's complicated

Depends on the drug so it would need to be on a case by case basis. This conversation should also be part of a larger one around introducing safe consumption sites to help reduce the strain on Canada's health care system (specifically ER rooms) since an ER visit is exponentially more expensive then running the safe consumption site. Increasing funding for Mental Health also needs to be part of this conversation to help increase access of a desperately needed service nation wide. Federal government should work with the provinces to deal with this so the response is more universal instead of patchwork across the country.
