不列颠哥伦比亚省于2026年结束了其毒品非刑罪化方案,理由是由于治疗经费不足未能改善公共健康。 British Columbia ended its drug decriminalization program in 2026, citing failure to improve public health due to inadequate treatment funding.

不列颠哥伦比亚省于2026年1月31日结束了其为期三年的毒品非刑罪化方案, 官方则以治疗和支助服务投资不足为由, British Columbia ended its three-year drug decriminalization program on January 31, 2026, after officials said it failed to reduce addiction or improve public health, citing insufficient investment in treatment and support services. 该政策始于2023年,从刑事指控中豁免拥有最多2.5克硬性毒品,将吸毒成瘾作为健康问题处理。 The policy, which began in 2023, exempted possession of up to 2.5 grams of hard drugs from criminal charges to treat addiction as a health issue. 批评者,包括警察领导人和专家,认为它缺乏足够的资源,并受到公共安全关切的破坏,例如蒂姆·霍顿斯广泛分享的关于毒品使用的视频。 Critics, including police leaders and experts, argued it lacked adequate resources and was undermined by public safety concerns, such as a widely shared video of drug use in a Tim Hortons. 倡导者坚持认为,目标是减少污名化和监禁,不允许公众使用,并强调该方案的缺点源于资金不足,而不是概念本身。 Advocates maintained the goal was to reduce stigma and incarceration, not enable public use, and stressed that the program’s shortcomings stemmed from underfunding, not the concept itself. 这一决定是在2024年俄勒冈州类似的倒退后作出的。 The decision follows a similar rollback in Oregon in 2024.
