Benzos aren't covered by BC's new decriminalization policy and critics say that's a problem

British Columbia has launched a three-year pilot project decriminalizing small amounts of certain hard drugs. The list includes methamphetamine, cocaine, opioids and MDMA or ecstasy, but it does not include benzodiazepines or benzos. Caitlin Shane, a lawyer with the Pivot Legal Society, says that's a problem because Benzos are responsible for a growing number of overdose deaths.
