Vancouver Drug Club Founders Challenge Shutdown in Court

Eris Nyx and Jeremy Kalicum argue that closing their compassion club violates Charter rights by forcing users to rely on unsafe street drugs.

The Drug User Liberation Front sold tested illicit drugs to provide a safer alternative to street drugs.
The club's founders claim the shutdown infringes on members' rights to life, liberty, and security.
They argue the closure forces members to resort to dangerous street supplies, violating their right to equality.
Vancouver Coastal Health had authorized the club to collect and test drug samples.
The legal case has sparked political debate between the governing NDP and the Opposition BC United.
