B.C. group ‘Moms Stop the Harm’ want more action from province to alleviate opioid crisis – APTN News
A group of mothers in British Columbia is calling for the province to do more to stem the opioid crisis in the province.
Moms Stop the Harm say a number of actions can be taken including decriminalizing and providing a safe supply of drugs.
“We believe the government has allowed our loved ones to die for the last six years,” says Lisa Weih, who lost her 29-year-old daughter to a fentanyl overdose.
“You know the police officer that came to our house said yeah you know this is sad this is what happened to your daughter oh we don’t do anything about these deaths! We don’t try to find the source of the drugs we don’t try to investigate this as a crime- which it is it is murder.”
