Drug Checking Holiday Hours

The holidays are a time when many come together to celebrate. For some, that might involve using alcohol, cannabis, or even illicit substances. In BC, using illicit drugs is riskier than ever. Getting your drugs checked can help you know what’s in them, so you can make safer choices. Do you know where you can check your drugs in the Interior?
