State bill that would allow drug injection centers advances
« on: March 03, 2018, 01:23:45 AM »

Somehow I missed this story when it first came out! :mad:
It's a race for 'braggin' rights! :yahoo:

Many California communities could open centers inviting addicts to shoot up hard drugs under a bill that has cleared the state Assembly and now awaits a vote on the Senate floor.

The goal is to reduce deaths. Here’s how the concept — modeled after a supervised drug injection center in Vancouver, British Columbia — works:


A user walks into a government-run clinic with heroin in his pocket. He’s greeted by a nurse who directs him to wash his hands before offering an array of clean needles. He sits down at a sterile booth, rolls up a sleeve and shoots up.

As the high sinks in, he makes his way to a chill-out room for a cup of coffee or juice. There, staff members watch for signs of overdose, prepared to administer life-saving medication if needed.

San Francisco is deep into discussions about opening an injection center.

As can be seen ... It didn't take SF long to capture another voting block! :whistling:
(less than a year)

I say let them use dirty needles and let natural selection take care of the problem.

Biden is an illegitimate President.  Change my mind.

Apparently, the motto in California is "If you can't beat them, then assist them."

I suppose the next step is to have Puke Shelters for alcoholics.

They come in with their fave juice in the brown bag, go to a room equipped with the latest sports/NFL action, have some chips and dips available, then allow the imbibing to continue until the drunk pukes.

Clean up the mess, using taxpayer dollars, and start all over again.

Hey, if it works for druggies, it oughta work for drunks.

It must be nice to have such a great economy with a cash surplus to be able to afford to cater to these dregs of society. They should also supply the heroin to make sure it is safe. :thatsright:

I'd set a police patrol there and arrest everyone for possession.
