The Los Angeles Unified School District is issuing a strong warning about drug use after three girls from the Santa Monica area ingested ecstasy pills that were likely laced with fentanyl.
The U.S. Justice Department under the Biden administration recently signaled it might be open to allowing the sites with"appropriate guardrails," a turnaround from the Trump administration that won a lawsuit blocking a safe consumption site in Philadelphia.But it had bipartisan opposition amid a sometimes personal debate.
But some members of each party said the sites only make things worse, as lawmakers cited dueling statistics from locations in other nations. About 700 San Franciscans died of accidental drug overdoses in 2020, a record. Those deaths"far exceeded the number of individuals who died of COVID-19" in 2020, when 261 deaths from the coronavirus were recorded, San Francisco Mayor London Breed noted. She cited skyrocketing drug overdose rates in her declaration of an emergency in the Tenderloin neighborhood.
I’m in California will the weird be seen as normal
So if they OD at one of these spots, who is liable? The county? Gavin Newsom, Gascon? Certainly the taxpayers won’t be paying for these.
Wow! Making drug use legal!
JDactionLAteam Dumbest idea EVER. Drug users don't want to be in a 'controlled environment.' They want drink, smoke, f*ck, listen to loud music. Will that be allowed? They get paranoid when confronted by the system. A fight breaks out, someone is injured, or an OD they can't stop. City is sued.
That's insane
Wtf !!
You’ve gotta be kidding me! CA in freakin getting more crazy every hour 🙄🙄🤮🤣. How about busting them instead, put them in lockdown rehab, or send to a work camp? If they can go buy drugs, they can work! They shouldn’t get any State or Fed benefits unless a Veteran.
put the injection sites in politicians neighborhoods.
Of course, it keeps the problem going … building more rehabs, and facilities to clean them up would be too much like right! Hey kids look what’s coming your way a legal drug house 🙄
Just putting us in express to crapville lately. How about making it easier for pain patients that actually need opioids to receive them?
Aren’t drugs illegal to begin with
the Wiener Wonder 🤡
How else can you keep your constituents voting your way ? Because they are currently paying double for everything based on their other policy decision . So keep them drugged up right ? sheep
Should probably set up rape centers also so the victims can get quick help
If it is in controlled environment when patients has suffered severe injuries or in pain. Then maybe it is a good thing to have people monitor them and all.
Drug lord must be creating this! Lol
I can’t support this. Enabling drug use is a very poor solution, and a grave misuse of funds.
This state is the Sodom and Gomorrah of modern days. What a mess GavinNewsom has created.
This is just dumb!!! So saying no to drugs usage is now go ahead as long as we supervise? Smdh
🤬🤬🤬🤬
Well, I'll make sure I'm packing...
Canada does this 👩🏻🎓
Vote ShellenbergerMD to save California
Drug users will seek and get drugs no matter if what. At least we know who they are, where they are by doing this. U might think this is scary . The scarier thing is your friends/neighbor could just used drugs and walked in your house without you knowing it.
This will not end well.
so lets jusy use government money to become drugs dealers lets not get them help but feed their addiction and then they can all vote for newsom and more progressive bs in november ..and yet you ban menthol cigs? got it!
…set up places where opioid users could legally inject illegal drugs…
What could go wrong?
StopDrugs
It’s all a business. Jails and rehabilitation centers are a business. They get paid by how many beds they can fill & keep filled. They want them to go back. Rehab is a $40 billion industry. Private jails is a $74 billion industry . Just another way to make money off humans.
Drugs are more dangerous than Covid
So stupid. I don’t care if this saves tax payer money, reduces ODs, etc, etc. The govt has no business helping addicts safely shoot up.
Step on in
Kalifornia is a 💩 🕳️ Run by 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
'But what about the people that want to legally apply for a CCW and carry a gun! They're the real danger! (incoherent yelling!!!!)'
Blame all the conservative out of state folk who gentrified it..made it difficult for natives to enjoy anything or even be able to live life n caused homelessness..then criticize folk as if theyre not the problem
That’s the Democrat party for you.
😱🙉🙉
That’s fine as long as there’s no free Narcan for the ODers
WTF no no no
so the war on drugs is over...... drugs won. thank you democrats. great presidential ad for newsolini
Stupid
I'm not sure about this
Leave it to the government to make a bad situation worse by normalizing, facilitating and perpetuating addiction.
Liberal cities are hellscapes
this was introduced by the socialist mayor of Paris about 10 years ago. Crime skyrocketed in the area as a result, especially assaults and people being mugged. Property value decreased.
