Survey: Toronto Public Health (TPH) is currently engaging in efforts to have the simple possession of drugs decriminalized.
It is widely understood that drug addiction and drug overdoses are experienced to a great extend in the City of Toronto.

To be clear, Toronto Police Services sees the impacts of drug use on our community, and how the power of addiction can destroy lives. The Toronto Police Service supports the Four-Pillar approach of Prevention, Treatment, Harm Reduction and Enforcement, in addressing issues related to drug use, possession, production and /or trafficking.
