I had a post yesterday in which I mentioned "safe spaces" to do drugs. (Hint: there is no safe way to do that.) Here is more on that. Native San Franciscan describes 'dystopia' on trip to downtown bar: 'I felt scared' | Fox News
The first part of the article is a description of the chaos that reigns in a once beautiful city. (It really was a beautiful city.)
Here is a bit that caught my attention.
Breed and Supervisor Hillary Ronen announced last week they planned to introduce a bill that would make way for the opening of "Overdose Prevention Sites" in the city, allowing individuals to use heavy drugs like heroin, methamphetamine and fentanyl in a safe and supervised environment where there would be access to wraparound services for addiction, according to NBC Bay Area. The measure would need to be enacted by the Board of Supervisors.
Former drug dealer–turned-activist Ricci Wynne recently spoke out against harm reduction policies and potential safe consumption sites in San Francisco on "Jesse Watters Primetime."
"[It's] going to make the problem worse," he said. "It's already created such a buzz that people are coming here to San Francisco in droves for what I like to call druggy tourism. They come here because they know the consequences are minuscule if any, and they can come here [and] just use openly."
Making it easy for people to be addicted to drugs is not compassion. Making it easier for an addict to stay addicted is not compassion.
