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. But the bill must still pass the state Assembly before it can go to Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, who would decide whether to sign it into law.

What the hell is wrong with these people?
ReplyDeleteThe bill was authored by State Senator Scott Wiener (no relation to Anthony Weiner). Senator Wiener is homosexual and is a Democrat. He has a law degree from Harvard (of course) and doesn't talk to Fox News because "Fox News is not real news. I talk to real news only".
ReplyDeleteIf a bill is introduced in California that has anything to do with drugs or sexual deviancy you can bet it's one of Scott's bills.
I have totally no problem with people doing this. Of course, it's not across the street from me, at least not out in the open, nor do we have mentally ill, aggressive homeless coming and going all hours. The *big* problem with this, is they want to use taxpayer $$ to fund drug dispensaries. Why... WHY should someone who chooses to not do something be forced to pay for those that do?

If one were to authorize enough tax payer funding to procure enough dope so that each doper had enough for a single uninterrupted overdose, it would it garner massive public support. Just thinking for a friend!
DeleteI like the way your friend thinks. His idea has to be a cheaper, quicker and more humane fix (pun intended) than what the brainiacs are doing now; hotel rooms, stipends, little homes, etc.

DeleteI know your comment says 'authorize', but my tiny brains saw 'euthanize'.
Euthanize.
It's not me... it's my brains.
Not my fault.

ReplyDeleteI am not, nor have I ever used illegal drugs. I used to be a regular at a medicenter where I went to get a narcotic plus anti nausea shot, for migraine headache, until the government shut that down. Many of the regulars there went on to buying drugs off the street, and while I don't have much contact with any of them, the last I heard, many of them were using heroin, because it was the cheapest drug to obtain.
ReplyDeleteI have no abortive now for migraine, having tried all of the possible drugs like the triptans, and the new ones, like Ubrelvy. Which cost 450$ out of pocket for one month. I didn't want to do it, but my wife made me pay the money, and the drug didn't work. I am on one of the new wonder drugs for migraines, my third one. Aimovig, Ajovy, and now Yvepti. None of them have any effect at all.
I discussed with my doctor that I was dependent on Norco to control migraines, and I got my name on the naughty list. He is reasonable, and will prescribe them for things like kidney stones, which I get, and other similar issues, but all of the local neurologists hate narcotics for migraine control, the only thing that ever helped mine. I get migraines so bad, that I am retired on disability due to them, plus a broken back when I was 20. It is hard to get disability for migraines, unless you have a ton of paperwork, going back a very long time, so it is a very real condition. I worked for 35 years in a steel foundry, doing a lot of hot, dangerous and heavy work, so it is not that I am looking to avoid work, I just am unable to maintain a full time job any longer.
My suggestion for a clinic to shoot up safely, is, why have it monitored. Just have a series of stalls, with each person being able to be alone in their stall, until they decide to come out. If they don't make it out, have a mortician ready to come in everyday to pick up the leftovers.
It does sound bizarre on the surface. However, I could be willing to give it a try. Reason being is that when I was in Europe on business many years ago I had the opportunity to witness just such a "Drug Dispensary" while passing through Switzerland. The addicts were given an opportunity for counseling first. If they still wished to take their heroin they got a clean needle, a dose that shouldn't kill them, and a fenced in area to do the drugs. They truly did look like mangy animals in that cage. I was told that in spite of precautions once and a while one of them would manage to overdose. If you ever want a visual on why drugs are bad just visit that fenced in area. Give your child a chance to look, and with some explanation of what's going on your kid will never do drugs, ever. Another advantage is that the druggies don't need to accost you in the ally at night for drug money. Because their fix is so readily available crime in that city was at or near zero. I walked around a strange city without fear of being mugged. It winds up costing the taxpayers a lot less for police, and the drugs are contained in a controlled area. I just don't know how it will work in this country, with lawyers standing by ready to sue the State for millions on behalf of some druggie if he overdoses.
