One of the stated aims is to reduce stigma. But the stigma of these drugs keeps a lot of people from trying in the first place. If you reduce that, you may end up with lots of people with a more casual attitude who end up hooked.

I don’t think this will achieve what the provincial government hopes.

Unless the government regulated the distribution of the drugs. That way, usage may increase, but at safe dosage levels. People will know what they’re getting and that should reduce overdose deaths, right?
