Vancouver Canada...the city that made every drug legal

Scary thing is that could be a lot of downtown Canadian cities, including my own. Just this morning there was an article about a forty year business that decided to shut down because of the amount of crackheads growing in the area and the owners are just done.

Yet people still support "harm reduction" as if it's doing anything to help the problem. If one addict is saved from an OD according to Liberals, it's worth destroying businesses and neighbourhoods. In Vancouver they pushed it all into that area and have just written it off.

Thats the future of every city in the west. When I was mid 20s the likes of heroin was next to impossible to come by in N.Ireland. Now we see the same chit as what you see in the states with needles laying around & people nodding on the streets. It is by design.

Make a 3 strikes and your out rule when it comes to giving narcan to druggies OD'ing

They get 2 chances to be saved by narcan to revive them. If caught a third time blatantly absuing to the point of OD'ing, then it's time to let their personal life choices play out, and let them go. Srs.

Also, re-criminalize drugs. Everything but weed, really.

Lol at making drugs legal. Surely that will make people make wise choices and they won't hurt anyone. Lock up these druggies that know what they're after.

Someone in a discussion I was involved with actually suggested that frequent ODers get tagged with something so they know how many times their life has been saved. And yes, if you pull up the sleeve and see four or five hashmarks, let them die. People lost their minds.

Do you agree that it's not justifiable to constantly save drug addicts with narcan, even after numerous repeat offenses by a specific individual? Can you imagine how much good could be done with taxpayer money that gets spent on ambulances, hospital stays and chit for these people? And they are often ungrateful and upset because their highs got ruined in the process of saving their lives, too.

I don't suggest that people should get 0 chances. But people who repeatedly do this kinda chit? It is what it is man, they decided it, not me.

Looks like an awful situation.

Oh, I totally agree. The problem is, like with MAID, who gets to determine how many is too many? The government.

I'm of the opinion that if you're homelesss and mentally ill/addicted you should get a time limit with as much support as you need. If you're still on the streets after say three years and multiple stints in rehab, just euthanize. Stop spending money on people just to keep them alive as useless zombies.

When I was an intern in the ICU, I intubated and took care of a drug addict who overdosed. First words to me when he was extubated: phuck you!

Wonder if he’s still alive

In my line of work we have a saying, "The cure for high prices is even higher prices"

Well it applies to the street outside my office now too. The cure for too much drugs and even more drugs.

With the government giving out safe doses already the dealers have to bring in even stronger stuff and the addicts want it. The problem is solving itself

[sphinxbrah]

Never understood why people view druggies over dosing and dying as a problem. Let them go nuts and OD all they want. The actual problem - the drug addicts - then becomes self-correcting. Canada is such a joke. I miss the country I grew up in. The country is beyond gone now. Hopefully the USA invades.
