Four Stars - I'd shoot up there again

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP/CBS13) — Instead of putting opioid users in jail, a proposal moving through the California Legislature would give them a place to inject drugs under supervision to ensure they don’t die from accidental overdoses. 

The California Senate passed a bill on Thursday by just one vote that would allow the programs in two Bay Area cities – Oakland and San Francisco – as well as Los Angeles County.
