Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) has made good on his promise to begin his efforts to decriminalize all drug use step by step with the introduction of several bills at the start of the new legislative session. Senate Bill 57 creates “safe injection sites” where drug addicts can use illicit drugs under medical supervision. Senate Bill 73 lowers the criminal penalties on users and dealers of heroin, opiates or opium derivatives, salts, cannabis, PCP and other dangerous drugs. Still promised, but not yet introduced, is a bill Wiener says will legalize all psychedelic drugs such as LSD and magic mushrooms.

No! No! No! The "War On Drugs" is only fifty years old - - let's give it a chance to work. Look at how much better things are now - - after spending trillions of dollars - - watching thousands be murdered - - millions of persons jailed - - oh, what a lovely war! And the worst part is - - that some people who post on this forum - - who are otherwise great believers in personal freedom and Constitutional rights - - actually support this brutal, corrupt, and totally ineffective "war." Nice going, guys! Let's have more of the same!

There are two sides to this and I tend to swing between them. Legalize everything and you will get more addicts, more OD deaths, and more grieving parents. Mattie Earp, Wyatt's 2nd wife died of an opium OD (some say deliberately). Opium was legal in many places back then along with gambling, prostitution, and alcohol. On the other side, you could put the cartels and dealers out of business and reduce crime. My guess would be substantially less crime plus freeing up prison space, courts, etc. You would have to make it available at attractive prices lest the street dealers undercut the legitimate dope shops. It's what happened in Cali when the greedy state saw a tax bonanza from weed, set the tax too high and are being outsold by 'Tyrone' and his street corner business.

I don't see how this will decrease crime. Just where will the addicts get their drugs from? Are the taxpayers going to have our taxes raised so as to give them away free? If not, addicts will still have to steal or sell their bodies to get money to buy the drugs to use in the so-called 'safe' places. And what kind of country will we become when our elected officials want us all dumbed down and drugged?

Legalize It. Drug criminalization is no more effective than prohibition was. It empowers criminal cartels and corrupt politicians. Just make it legal and let Darwin sort everything out

Liberty is perilous. Either one is responsible for one's own health and welfare or the government is. Demanding the right to control one's own chemistry is not the same as advocating drug usage......any more than owning guns is an invitation to homicide. Liberty is for adults only. Try to be one. The gooberment is not your Daddy or your friend. A dose of acid might do ya'lll some good. I don't do it any more but it sure made me re-think my uptight upbringing. .......fifty years ago......in San Fran.

I am sure the ordinary working Joe will have to foot the bill for all the devastation hard drug use will cause to our society.

The folks who imagine that ending laws against drugs will be beneficial are deluding themselves. Opiates are legal for certain pain, and even when legalized, tens of thousands wind up overdosing and dying each year. Legalize these horror show drugs and not only will the death rates climb, but the violence rate will climb a lot too. Talk to a police officer who has arrested a PCP user. Insane, ultra violent and superhuman strength. Perfect person to meet in some public place, right?

"Brave New World"'s "Soma". Why are the Russians relatively lenient when it comes to alcoholism. "Soma". A drunk, stoned or whacked out populace is a lot easier to handle than one that's sober and knows what's going on. And in our case, armed.

Scott D San Francisco Wiener. There, fixed it for ya. But seriously, why would California need to legalize more drugs? They're already on heavy hallucinogens. Too bad they're not on antipsychotics. I wonder if we could put Pelosi on some kind of anti-Botox drug, like Antabuse for alcoholics.

A conservative legal watchdog group has announced that it received hundreds of pages of documents revealing the contract materials and communications related to a $1 billion contract for face masks between the California Office of Emergency Services (OES) and the Chinese Communist Party linked BYD. The company reportedly has been barred by law from some federal contracts for providing faulty electric vehicles and lithium batteries to U.S. buyers. The documents, which were posted by Judicial Watch, reveal that an OES legal representative admits that the state deviated from their normal procurement process for this contract.

Ten congressional candidates from California filed a civil action in federal court this week, charging Gov. Gavin Newsom with overseeing an unconstitutional and fraudulent November general election. The complaint, which includes hundreds of sworn eyewitness reports of election code violations, irregularities and fraud, seeks to decertify the 55 electoral votes that the state awarded to Joe Biden. The 44-page legal filing contends that the state election practices promoted the casting of illegal and unreliable ballots, thereby violating the Fourteenth Amendment. Other named defendants include California Attorney General Xavier Becerra and California Secretary of State Alex Padilla.
Five ways Google is trying to kill Christmas 6 replies

The search engine giant currently features a Doodle adorned with Christmasy lights in homage to December holidays, but goes to considerable lengths to minimize the month’s signature celebration. Click on the image at Google.com and up pops “December global holidays” content that downplays and diverts readers from the true meaning of Christmas, the world’s most popular holiday. First, it shares a default page from worldstrides.com that dryly mentions Christmas and gives equal weight to a list of contrived and obscure celebrations such as Kwanzaa and Boxing Day (sorry, Mum and Canada). As for Christmas, says it is “now mostly celebrated as a cultural holiday rather than a religious one.”

As we reported two days ago, Joe Biden completely made no sense when he was trying to explain the Wuhan coronavirus relief bill. It was really bad and it explains why they’re afraid to have him deliver an address to Congress or do any kind of a real solo press conference, because at this point they have to be afraid this is all going to fall apart if he does anything live and this all becomes too obvious to the American people. But there’s only so long that they can hold this off. And it’s getting worse, as video today revealed. Biden was holding an event to announce the nomination

Democrat Senator Joe Manchin (WV) appears to have started to shift his views on the filibuster with remarks that he made on two news shows on Sunday morning.The shift from Manchin comes after he has repeatedly stated that he would not vote to end the filibuster, despite pressure from the far-Left. During the interviews on Sunday, Manchin repeatedly claimed that he was not open to ending the filibuster because he did not want to strip the minority party of their power in the Senate, but signaled that he was open to changing it.Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Manchin if he would consider “reforming the filibuster” if “Republicans

If you had any doubts that Meghan Markle is a manipulative piece of work, her bombshell Oprah interview Sunday night dumping on the British monarchy would set you straight. Prince Harry’s American wife accused his family of hateful racism against her baby, claimed they refused to protect her and drove her to the point of suicide.She made the incendiary and implausible charge that when she was pregnant with Archie, the royal family decreed that her unborn son would be denied the title of “prince” because her mixed race meant he might have dark skin.

Pelosi’s HR1 bill a blatant power grab for Democrats 30 replies

Nancy Pelosi’s top priority is to turn America into a one-party nation ruled by Democrats. Her bill HR 1 trashes the U.S. Constitution in an attempt to rig the system and make it virtually impossible to elect a Republican president or Congress again. It’s a power grab. The bill eviscerates state voting laws and forces all the states to conform to a set of rules that includes automatic voter registration. Anyone who goes to a DMV or applies for food stamps, Medicaid or other social services, or attends a public college will be automatically enrolled to vote. Noncitizens are obligated to identify themselves and opt out,

President Biden on Monday seemed to forget Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s name at a White House event—calling the Pentagon chief “the guy who runs that outfit over there.” Biden was announcing the nomination of two female generals to lead US military combatant commands. “And I want to thank the sec—the, the, ah former general. I keep calling him general, but my, my—the guy who runs that outfit over there,” Biden said.(Snip) Earlier at the event, Biden mentioned the Defense Department leader by his name, “Secretary Austin,” while appearing to read from a teleprompter.

The Royal Family was left reeling this morning after Meghan Markle tearfully revealed that the stress of royal life made her suicidal when she was five months pregnant, claimed Archie was denied the title of prince because he is mixed-race and said Kate Middleton made her cry before she married Harry in a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey.The couple also chose to reveal that they are having a baby girl to the tens of millions of people watching the CBS show broadcast in the US before accusing the Royal Family of racism and revealing the deep rift 'Megxit' has caused with Prince Charles and Prince William.

I’m probably second to none in my dislike for Meghan Markle. There’s something unattractive about a mature woman marrying into the British Royal family with one of the world’s most expensive weddings, hanging out with the Queen, living in insane luxury…and then whining non-stop about the horror of her life. There’s something even less appealing when that woman accuses the Royal family of race hatred. And the problem is that, when it comes to that left-wing diva, Meghan Markle, it’s hard to believe most of what she says. After weeks of hype, CBS finally televised Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah.

Without question, the vast majority of Americans who support former President Donald Trump were angry and frustrated throughout 2020 passed with barely a mention of then-U.S. Attorney John Durham’s criminal investigation into the FBI’s fraudulent “Russiagate” counterterrorism operation directed at his 2016 campaign.In the weeks before the November election, word got out that then-Attorney General William Barr wasn’t going to announce any indictments or even a report on Durham’s investigation because he did not want to influence the outcome.So far, in fact, the only indictment to come out of the Durham probe is that of former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who essentially got a slap on the wrist

Rep. Steve Cohen vowed to renew the push to remove former FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover’s name from the bureau’s downtown Washington headquarters, according to an interview released Monday. Appearing on Yahoo! News’ Skullduggery podcast, the Tennessee Democrat said the effort is getting a fresh look after the release of a new movie highlighting the FBI’s secret program to discredit civil rights activists. The Washington Times in 2019 first reported Democrats’ bid to strip the longtime FBI director’s name from the bureau’s headquarters. Mr. Cohen said the impetus to revive the bid is the new movie, “Judas and the Black Messiah.” The movie details

“There must have been a moment, at the beginning, when we could have said –-no. But somehow we missed it.” Tom Stoppard The millions of Americans who were paying attention throughout the 2020 election campaign all became painfully aware of the fact that Joe Biden’s cognitive abilities were slipping and slipping fast. His wife, as the person closest to him, should have been the one to call the campaign quits in order to reduce stress on the man. Instead, apparently so anxious to become the First Lady by any means necessary, Mrs. Biden continued to push her failing husband’s campaign forward as if he were mentally qualified.
