Well the frog had his brain removed prior to being placed in the pot, so I think he has Dunning Kruger.

I love how y'all act like drug addiction is just a big city problem, as if there aren't tons of rural towns in red states full of meth heads and heroin addicts. Source: I live in a small town in a red state full of drug addicts. And guess what? Most of them are white, so there goes the race argument.

Complain about homeless and drug addicts but cancel the programs that are made to get them off the street. Because of but ma' taxes.

Classic GOP strategy feeding into their brainwashed rage fests.
Oregon legalized drugs and it’s the worst place in North America excluding Vancouver (shit hole). You can’t replace family, values, and work ethic with “programs.”

Hope this helps bud light Botten!

But if you like research and wanted to do some digging, I’ve heard talk of these homeless programs being a money making racket for those administering them, with garbage success rates. Like a serious either incompetence or corruption issue
It's both but they are seriously corrupted. Lots of filled suitcases being tossed around.

California sees wave of political corruption

"California has been seeing a surge of political corruption cases in recent years, mostly involving veteran politicians who have a possessive attitude about their positions."

"Mohammed Nuru, the city’s former public works director is, as the San Francisco Chronicle summarizes, “at the center of a widespread federal corruption case that has linked city officials, contractors, nonprofit groups and others in a web of alleged bribery and fraud. The former public works director was arrested in January 2020 for allegedly attempting to bribe an airport commissioner. His case is still pending in federal court.”

I don’t think anyone made a race argument that I recall when it comes to drug abuse. And yea, it’s obviously happening in rural areas, but the fallout isn’t as bad as when these homeless addicts all cram together on a few city blocks, creating a bigger biohazard and safety issue

What most people also don’t want to think about is, I don’t have the exact stats, but like 70%+ of hard drug users are functional addicts. Meaning people that work and aren’t on the streets/homeless

Yea I hate it when people point to much smaller EU countries that have success with legalization

I guess they don’t realize that we are sitting directly above the biggest illegal drug distributor on the entire planet, that metric tons of this stuff is coming across the border

It was shown last year that enough fentanyl came here from Mexico to kill the entire United States population, with more expected this year

Legalize it, and watch the destruction. It would be quite a show

Half of California political map is red.

The Devin Nunes(es) are a problem when it comes to corruption and scandal.

Discussion was on cities drug issues (keep up)...
https://www.monarchshores.com/drug-a...drug-problems/

1. Cincinnati, Ohio

Cincinnati is a city of more than 290,000 people, 26 percent of whom are living in poverty. The city’s economy is centered on industries related to healthcare and social assistance as well as retail trade, among others. Cincinnati is currently plagued with a high record of drug overdose death, particularly with the entry of fentanyl and other synthetic drugs in the market. For instance, in just six days, 174 people in Cincinnati have overdosed in 2016 after using heroin cut with carfentanil, an analog of opioid analgesic fentanyl.

According to the Cincinnati Health Department, drug overdose deaths due to opioid has increased by a staggering 1,000% in the past five years. Apparently, an increasing number of drug users are mixing synthetic opioids like fentanyl and carfentanil to common street drugs like cocaine. Federal narcotics agents are observing flooding of non-prescription fentanyl, that are made in laboratories outside the U.S., in the market. “The introduction of synthetic opiates like fentanyl has killed tens of thousands of Americans and should be seen as the country’s most pressing health, a national security issue, and social crisis we face right now,” Newtown Police Chief Tom Synan said.

2. Wilmington, North Carolina

Wilmington is a city located in the coastal southeastern North Carolina with a population of over 100,000. The economy of Wilmington specializes in accommodations and food service as well as rental and leasing because of its nearness to the ocean. While many are employed, the poverty rate in the city is still high at 22.9%. From among the many areas in North Carolina, Wilmington has been reported to be one of the cities with the highest opioid abusers. Apparently, 11.6% of the residents of the port city tend to abuse prescription drugs and that almost 54% of all opioid prescription drugs in Wilmington are being abused.

The numbers are not surprising, given that more than 700 million prescription pills handed out by doctors in North Carolina in 2016 alone. NC Attorney General said: “We need to stop creating addicts,” during a roundtable discussion aimed at finding a solution to the opioid abuse in the state.

3. Louisville, Kentucky

Louisville is the largest city in Kentucky with a population of more than 770,000 and with that comes it’s largest cities with worst drug problems. Considering its location, the city’s economy is centered on businesses related to cargo and shipping. Improving the lives of 17.4 percent of families living in poverty is not the sole focus of the city but combating its worsening drug crisis as well. The number of fatalities due to a drug overdose in Louisville is 43 deaths for every 100,000 people, which is more than twice the national rate for overdose fatality. Metro Emergency Services also recorded 52 overdose-related emergency calls in just thirty-two hours. Given the extent of the problem,

Louisville Mayor Greg Fisher told his constituents that, “We are living through the biggest drug epidemic in American history.” The most commonly abused drugs in Louisville causing a spike in fatalities include heroin, librium, cocaine, opioid, and benzodiazepines. Police officers are also noticing a surge in charges related to possession of methamphetamine in the city more than the number of heroin and opiates combined.


Heh Texas - worst state to live and work in for 2023, and there’s a big surprise at the very bottom
