It's part of a three-year pilot by the federal government, which granted B.C. an exemption from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) on May 31, 2022.

Under the exemption, up to 2.5 grams of the following four drug types can be legally possessed:

• Cocaine (crack and powder).
• Methamphetamine.
• MDMA.
• Opioids (including heroin, fentanyl and morphine).

Fentanyl and its analogues were detected in nearly 86 per cent of drug toxicity deaths from 2019 until 2022, according to the latest report from the B.C. Coroners Service.
