Illicit Cannabis So Dangerous It May Save Your Life Says Minister’s Report

POT TV – Global News caught a BC Minister’s marijuana press conference, but no questions were asked about his inaction on overdose deaths, or the substance of the report. On June 9th, Minister Mike Farnworth held a press conference, touting a new study showing illicit cannabis’s dangers, but, instead, has highlighted his shameful inaction on overdose deaths. “Don’t buy illicit cannabis because you don’t know what’s in it. It may be contaminated.” Farnworth said at a press conference. Farnworth stated his interest was “public safety”. His quote, and the press release, was repeated unquestioningly by numerous media outlets, but what did the study say about illicit cannabis, and illicit cannabis users who can’t “get it legal”? “Some consumers rely on illicit cannabis products to reduce or eliminate their use of more hazardous substances, like illicit opioids, and these consumers may face financial or other difficulties in accessing legal cannabis. Due to the increasingly toxic drug supply, those trying to moderate their illicit opioid use should speak to their care provider before discontinuing the use of illicit cannabis products.” If illegal cannabis is saving people’s lives, why has the Minister not addressed programs like the Cannabis Substitution Project, which has been giving away cannabis in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side for 4 years to reduce overdose deaths? All the CSP’s cannabis is received by donation, often contains high-dose edible products, and is “illicit” according to Farnworth. The program was evicted from its storefront location, robbed by police, and is not being supported by the Provincial government despite saving lives during an overdose crisis and pandemic. The Minister also did not mention the report’s findings about the quality of the sample size. “This small sub-sample is not representative of all illicit cannabis in Metro Vancouver.” Cannabis has been grown and consumed in Canada, without regulation, since 1606, and no reported deaths have occurred. POT TV contacted the Minister’s office on Wednesday, asking what people who rely on live-saving cannabis should do if they’re unable to access what they need on the legal market, but has yet to receive an answer. https://pot.tv/video/2021/06/11/illic...
