Ask the Experts: Decriminalization of Substance Use
Wednesday, June 22, 12 noon to 1 pm.
The opioid poisoning crisis has taken more than 25,000 lives across Canada since 2016. Last year, CAMH released a statement in favour of decriminalizing the simple possession of illicit drugs, including opioids. In this webinar, the presenters will explain CAMH's position, the rationale behind it, and the other measures needed to address this crisis.
