heartbroken that anyone becomes addicted let alone dies from the poison

The worst thing is that the addiction has been created.

Wish there was some way to get the drugs off the streets and help these people!

There are many ways but the people who run this city do the opposite of what might help. 😔

That appears to be tranq in the photo.

They go into that zombie don't move pose.

Vancouver Canada is full of them in strange uncomfortable positions.

My son has a photo album of them.

Yeah, I also heard from someone else it was tranq. Absolutely horrendous to see people like that.

Very interesting. I haven't been to SF since before Covid because of their insane covid requirements.

Just wanna share that I gave birth in 2004 at Alta Bates and was given Fentanyl for pain relief. Just one of the standard options at the time.

An old friend is a doc and assured me that it doesnt “cross the blood brain barrier”. Maybe..

Anyway DD is healthy and all is well.

Just interesting that what’s now a street drug was given during childbirth.

I heard that recently about Fentanyl! I guess the dosage is monitored and people are watching over you. Glad that you and your child had no ill-effects from it.

Thanks! Yeah I forgot to mention that fortunately I am able to stand up straight 😉

Thank you same. I was in a homeless shelter for 21 long months and being constantly surrounded by those disgusting slobs was absolute HELL! You cannot possibly imagine. What made it even worse was that my dad was a drunken drug addict and being there brought all the the trauma that I worked tremendously hard to heal from. They all have a choice. I really don't like them at all unless they're doing their utmost to get and stay clean and even then.........

There's a thing called narcotics anonymous and it works and so does aa. They choose their lot.

Thanks sis. I got through it. The thing is is that the city coddles, enables and actually encourages them in their addiction. One morning I came out of the shower to see six or seven guys standing outside the shower in a circle smoking Fentynol, crack and whatever else and refused to budge when I asked them to. I'm a very highly trained martial artist and it took everything I had to not hospitalize each and every one of them as I walked through the circle of them into a cloud of their poisonous smoke. I was fucking livid!

At one point I was temporarily wheelchair bound and one of the junkies stole my wheelchair and when I went to the the supervisor on duty he suggested I resort to physical violence. The name of the place is embarcadero navigation center. They have a convicted pedophile on staff there. Someone who works or worked there broke into their computer system and stole all of my personal data. Nothing has been done.
