Drugs in BC

Drugs seem to be this huge thing these days or at least they are too many of British Columbias residents. Out of all of the provinces in Canada BC has the highest drug rates of all. The consumption of marijuana and drug offences revolving around this specific drug have dropped. I think this is because it is such a common thing in our society that it can be let aside more. Marijuana is known as a gate way drug, another reason why I thing that the rates for marijuana is going down id because people have moved on to something harsher. This brings us to cocaine. Drug offences revolving around cocaine have sky rocketed. It's all the rage for teenagers these days. It is now the number one most grossing drug in BC. Vancouver is accountable for most of BCs population. There are many parts to Vancouver and several of them are very heavily associated with drugs and with crime. In these areas there are lots of homeless people and lower in come homes. These people do not have the means to obtain a job or to have a proper place to live. They often turn to drugs. This is because they can usually find them for fairly cheap and they take the edge off living the way they do. On top of this Vancouver has a large population of foreign buyers bringing themselves as well as new kind of drugs. And one of the most dangerous things about drugs these days is its never pure, it is always laced with something such as fentanyl.
