Everyone is looking at this all wrong. This will be some of the best people watching around.

Not that this is any argument for or against, but people frequently refer to laws already on the books, but I can't think of many laws that are less effective than current drug laws. That doesn't mean that THIS is the answer, just an observation.

Maybe we should setup overdose stations. Go there to overdose, get a free bodybag and toe tag. Cheaper in the long run. Great capitalist solution. You could even get a Broncos orange body bag.

This is where I'm at on the whole thing.

Where is all the data?

Not a dig to your view, brother.... I think that absorbing all the data available about it, however much *good* there could be from it....I don't like the stations for the very reason BMB stated in the post above.

Progressive logic. Something illegal (drugs) given their safe space to do shoot up. But something legal (anything 2A) is bad and illegal if it scares them. What would be ironic if they placed GPS devices on the drug addicts to pinpoint where they buy junk from and get the dealers.

This ^^^^ is an awesome idea.

Only if everyone crowds the stations every day "to like, totally ruin my epic high, bro".

Hoping for an OD cure drug shortage. Stop hijacking Darwinism and let the stupid meet the fate they were heading towards.

Drug use is a self solving problem. Let the druggies die from their OD and toss them in the garbage where they belong.

If you want to just see them lay there...then maybe.

You can't help junkies and addicts by promoting and encouraging them to use narcotics. Regardless of how the left and their main stream propaganda machine try to spin this in a way to make this sound reasonable or normal, it is NOT! This is a dangerous leftist experiment and agenda and in no way is this good for the general welfare or the safety and health of society.

It is much easier to force socialism on a dependent drugged up society and that IS what it's really all about... this is really about taking advantage and exacerbating the problem to create and manufacture dependency at the expense of taxpayers.

I've seen articles about theses sites for years, but it's always a piece about the conflict between the people who want it and the people who don't, never anything tangible one way or the other.

Don't suppose we can get a safe place to buy 30-round magazines, can we? >.>

The link you posted seems to be about drinking, is that the right one?


I'm not for or against these "safe spaces" or whatever, because I don't know enough about them. I think there are some interesting things being looked at more recently that seem to have a good track record for curing people of addictions, but since they require the use of other currently illegal drugs, they aren't really getting any traction.
