For Liberals, legalizing pot is not enough!

From what I here, the latest thing is knowingly pushing the Fentnyl limit by calling 911 then using the drugs knowing you are going to od and assuming the first responders will get there in time. Yikes I just don't get it.

You just answered your own question. We have those problems and costs now along with the full prisons. Would it not be better to reduce the O.D. s and the confrontations with police and healthcare workers . Give them safe sites and monitor the drugs so they are not contaminated. No one said it would be easy. Provide treatment for those who can stop.

Well agstar77 indicates that we should just overlook this reckless behavior and suck up the costs.

As if we owe it to some to save their lives because of their chosen, willful irresponsibility while others pay for it and cannot access necessary, non-discretionary, legitimate health care.

Sure, it may be that "safe sites" (what a stupid, ill-chosen name - think about it) save some lives, but at whose cost?

It appears that a complete loss of objectivity is one of the fatal side effects of a socialist view?

Where does personal responsibility come in? If I want to drive 100 MPH all the time or run stop signs to save time, why shouldn't I be allowed to?

Can't have the death penalty for drug dealers (the cops know who these guys are), but we can let people die - both directly and indirectly - because of their activity?

What does it say about a society when it erodes or eliminates certain laws because they inconvenience some who flaunt those laws, to the detriment of all?

"Well, they're not following that law, so let's just strike it down?"

Why have any laws?

Burnt you have summarized what is wrong with our healthcare system, justice system and Liberal decision makers quite well.


It is shocking how naive some people can be with the concept of “safe-injection” sites. These same people will not have an issue with our long wait times for standard surgery and they definitely won’t be in favour of harsh penalties for drug dealers that our killing young people.

Notice chuckChuck doesn't defend this Liberal idea, only the global warming theory.
Has he ever commented on Justin's idea of having Canada's youth, growup and turn out to be like Justin's mother, messed up in the head, because of all the dope she smoked growing up in B.C. and her time with Mick, Keith, Charlie and Ronnie?

So you do not want to prevent overdoses or use of contaminated drugs. How do you want to solve the problem? The system we have now has never worked. Human nature will not change but you can modify behavior and reset it. The central question is whether it is more cost effective to treat drug addiction as a medical problem or a criminal problem and which choice will be better for society. We should only look after the perfect people and put the rest in prison.

What about convicted hard drug smugglers-think we should welcome them back with open arms? Two girls from Quebec just sentenced in Australia. They were, “on vacation.” Now they have a paid long vacation in the land down udder.
