I’m glad I don’t live in California:

City health officials took steps Thursday toward opening the nation’s first legal safe-injection room, where addicts could shoot up heroin, cocaine and other drugs under the supervision of nurses.Hoping to reduce San Francisco’s high rate of fatal drug overdoses, the public health department co-sponsored a symposium on the only such facility in North America, a four-year-old Vancouver site where an estimated 700 intravenous users a day self-administer narcotics under the supervision of nurses.

Nothing says “thank you middle class, for working hard and making good decisions…not to mention paying your obscenely high taxes” quite like rewarding a bunch of ingrate douchebags who can’t handle their shit. It’s nice to know that if I decide to give up on my life and shoot narcotics into my veins I’ll have a place to go pass out and piss all over myself.
