Pennsylvania Democrat Senate Candidate John Fetterman Wants to “Legalize Heroin” and Fund “Safe Injection Sites”

Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman wants to “legalize heroin” and fund “safe injections sites.”

A recent video of Fetterman saying he wants to release “one-third” of the prison population also just surfaced.

What could possibly go wrong?

John Fetterman, Pennsylvania’s current Lt. Governor who is now the Democrat nominee for US Senate, is one of the most radical Democrat in the senate race.

So,... democrats have that going for them. 😬

I think we should decriminalize all of it. Those who are going to abuse will do so but decriminalizing it would take the money and the crime out of it. The reduction in crime and gang violence would make for any other issues.

@sunsporter1649 I am not shittin anybody. We spend billions of dollars on the "drug war", billions, annually. But, drugs are still available on every street corner in every town in the country. It couldn't be any more available if it was legal as it is now. Prohibition didn't work for alcohol, prostitution, and it doesn't work for drugs. Personally, I have never used or even tried any of it. But we are all paying for useless enforcement of things that are not enforceable. It isn't working, 60 years of spending and it is only getting worse. It is time to do something different.

@Roadsterrider Yeah, what the hell, 100,000 overdose deaths in one year, spread it around, lets see how many we can kill next year

@sunsporter1649 Anyone that wants to use can get it now, all being illegal does for it is to allow the police to arrest a few million people a year for possession clogging the courts and filling county correctional facilities while it doesn't do anything to get the dope and dope related crime under control. There are thousands dying from alcoholism, from drunk driving, but we aren't clamoring to go back to prohibition of alcohol.

@sunsporter1649 I don't think the number of people who OD would change much, about 100K die annually due to alcohol, banning it didn't work. At least if it were not illegal, there would be some control over what those who use are actually getting, much like alcohol. An addict would know how much fentanyl he was getting ready to use instead of just hoping there wasn't too much.
