Lawyers for the founders of Vancouver's Drug User Liberation Front (DULF) say their clients are being wrongfully criminalized for operating a club that provided untainted drugs to people who would otherwise be at the mercy of a toxic and deadly illicit drug supply.

Lawyers Tim Dickson and Stephanie Dickson outlined a constitutional challenge of Canada's Controlled Drugs and Substances Act on Tuesday, filed in B.C. Supreme Court on behalf of DULF co-founders Jeremy Kalicum and Eris Nyx.

The pair had operated a "compassion club" that sold heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine bought on the dark web and tested for contaminants.
