NANAIMO, British Columbia (LifeSiteNews) — A British Columbia hospital now features a vending machine distributing free crack pipes and “safe” snorting kits.
In an August 26 video, Conservative Party of British Columbia candidate Gwen O’Mahony exposed that the Nanaimo Regional General Hospital, which operates in the district in which she is running, is distributing free crack pipes and snorting kits at a vending machine outside its emergency room.
“I’m outside the Nanaimo hospital and I was able to get a crack inhalation kit and a cocaine snorting kit,” O’Mahony said in the video uploaded to X.

“Unfortunately, the crack pipes were out, which is no surprise because crack pipes can be trades for drugs,” she added. “All of these items, you can get for free at a vending machine located just directly over there at the Nanaimo Hospital Emergency Room.”
In the video, O’Mahony explained how obtaining the drugs kits from the vending machine was an easy process with no screening.
A person merely walks up to the machine, selects which drug kit they would like, and receives it for free. The vending machine also had an informational video explaining how to “safely” use the kits.
Shortly after the video went viral on social media, B.C. Premier David Eby ordered a review into the hospital’s vending machine.
“Where there are concerns that have been raised, it’s about access to different types of paraphernalia that is disconnected from contacting medical health professionals or a trained person working in a medical facility that can provide that support,” he said.
“That’s what I’ve asked the minister of mental health to take a look at,” Eby added.
The distribution of the kits comes after Prime Minster Justin Trudeau’s lax drug initiatives were deemed such a disaster in British Columbia that the province, which is ruled by the far-left New Democratic Party, asked Trudeau to re-criminalize narcotic use in public spaces just a year after the Trudeau government decriminalized the practice. Nearly two weeks later, the Trudeau government accepted the request.
According to British Columbia’s official data from 2023, the year the Trudeau government first decriminalized hard drug use, the province saw “the largest number of drug-related deaths ever reported to the agency,” hitting a tragic total of 2,511.
The effects of decriminalizing hard drugs in various parts of Canada have been exposed by certain media outlets. Two documentaries, Aaron Gunn’s Canada is Dying, and U.K. Telegraph journalist Steven Edginton’s mini-documentary, Canada’s Woke Nightmare: A Warning to the West, both detail the grim reality of the drug crisis, particularly in B.C.
