California does, right wingers in California do not and they pay MASSIVE amounts of money for advertising campaigns to misrepresent drug treatment, safe injection sites, and psychiatric centers as free drugs and won't somebody think of the children???

Do you want one of THOSE people to be getting help next door to you? Oh the horror! Don't you know that junkies sneak off in the night, into your homes in order to stab your children with drug filled needles??? Do you have any idea what it's like to be near a psychiatric center? I do. My brother's nieces cousins uncle twice removed on her mother's side told me that the crazies like to kidnap your children and vandalize your house.

Where did I put my pearls? I'm in desperate need of clutching them.
