Their stubborness in this situation is childish at best and harmful at worst. It's time for the conservatives to open their eyes, read the research and face reality. Drugs and the problems that come with them are not going to go away. Outlawing something does not make it disappear.

I would be thrilled to see harm reduction enshrined on a federal level so that the provinces could begin adopting appropriate harm reduction strategies without worry about repercussions from the federal government.

It will be a purely politica gesture meant to appease the hardcore social comservatives who provide the backbone of support to the Tories.
