Why Does BC Have the Highest Drug Rates in Canada


There are many reasons that BC has the highest rates, from its nice weather, big city's, massive marijuana industry, and being right next to the boarder, and right next to the ocean.

 Marijuana Industry: First off BC has a huge Marijuana industry and has the best Bud in the country and some of the best in the world, its been so entwined with people, and family's lives for generations, and with the legalization its only becoming more common. Well what does Marijuana have to do with other drugs? Marijuana isn't just a gateway drug for using, its also a gateway drug for selling. If you sell weed for a living, the likely hood of you ending up selling some harder stuff, knowing someone who sells harder stuff, or getting your weed from someone who sells harder stuff is very high. If you are a reliable coworker for your plug and have consistent income he might want to give you something to sell that'll increase your profit

 Being Next to the Boarder and Ocean: Being so close to the US boarder and the ocean make BC an Ideal province to traffic into, whether to just put it into BC or to simply go through BC and get your drugs to other provinces and territory's. Not to mention with its already "booming" drug industry and demand, with it being so close its a nobrainer to come sell your drugs in BC. Being close to the ocean makes over seas shipping a viable option as well.

 Weather and City's: With BC having the warmest climate i Canada it leads this simply being easier to do, people are much more active when its not negative 20 plus outside leading to more workers working more in the drug work force. Warm climate also brings homeless people, its better to be homeless in Vancouver of just BC than it is in somewhere that is negative 20 plus. With these factors and the fact that BC has big city's it leads to those factors acuring on a massive scale. The more people and more often you have people working the bigger the industry and having lots of homeless/lower class people you have an endless supply of costumers.

 This link leads to a very large drug bust recently in Vancouver. They seized hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of drugs, hundreds of thousands for dollars and a very unsettling amount of fentenyl, all the drugs leading to a street value of 4 million dollars. They had intentions of selling the drugs in the downtown east side and to ship them to Vancouver island and Alberta. The take advantage of Vancouver's population and poverty to move there product and were using Vancouver as the shipping center for there product, in other words work from BC and move out to the other provinces.

He was a cute kid, but as he got older he began to have very dark sexual fantasy's, he enjoyed humiliating women in public and beating the girls he dated. He then when on to commit many rapes, tortures and murders with his then wife Karla Homolka. Its hard to imagine why someone would commit these crimes, but it all comes back to his up bringing, he was raised by a man who treated women like dirt and also had sadistic sexual fantasies, that alone made his chances of committing sexual assault much greater. To stop these things we need to cut off the influence of ones parents, sense most sexual assaulters experienced some sort of assault in there childh...

Does Social Media Effect Trial Social media can drastically effect trials, it generally makes the person seem extremely guilty before being proven guilty, like in Cassie Anthonys trial. Myself among many other people believe her to still be guilty, but we saw no unbiased reports. Media is to paint a picture, and is seen through a frame, so if your just fed bias information, you can easily be lead to believe what there trying to sell u on. Another bad effect, is that it can be nearly impossible to find an unbiast jurry, just like in Cassie Anthonys case. It can also indanger the accused, having your trial online and being portraid in a certain light, can make alot of people hate you. With them already seeing you as a monster, it can make reintegrating into society dangerous, and nearly impossible, expetially if your story gets alot attention. Trials simply shouldnt be broadcasted, you can't just give all this information, painting the accused a certain way, when it could be comple...

The majority of victims don't even have any physical effects oly mental, if you get robbed once and didn't get any injuries and its happend once in your whole life, the odds of it happening again are pretty slim, but your mind will still e rationally, and obsessively think about it and oftentimes you'll have an eerie feeling that its going to happen again.
