      Because it’s a much more destructive drug, in a completely different state and city, with completely different demographics, political climate, and education level? 15 years into the future?

        Oh so you think everyone in CA on benefits in on drugs or something? The base idea remains the same. Don’t hide welfare behind drug testing it isn’t worth it

          No I don’t think that and I never said that. Please don’t try and put words in my mouth.

          To be blunt, I think that the people in California, today, are much better equipped to take on this issue than the people in Florida were 15 years ago.

            All those drug addicted welfare queens in CA need to rot amirite? Since you hate welfare and the people on it.

            That’s putting words in your mouth. Keep making things up tho dude I’m sure it’ll take you far.

            The fact that they passed this law despite the same kind of law literally never working ever anywhere just proves how wrong you are. It’s yet another stupid easy-sounding solution that makes people feel smug but won’t work

            Californians are just as dumb as Floridians apparently. So dumb that they can’t even learn from Florida’s big dumb mistakes, and probably were never aware of them in the first place.

              Did Florida’s law provision for treatment options? If not, then maybe it really isn’t the same “stupid easy-sounding solution”. I think that if you should take some time to read the article and understand the measure that was voted on, before you call the entire population of California as dumb as that of Florida…

              From the article:

              Breed’s office has said the measure was intentionally designed to be flexible on the treatment component. Treatment options could range from out-patient services to a prescription for buprenorphine, a medication used to treat addiction. They noted it doesn’t include a requirement for participants to remain sober, recognizing that people often lapse in recovery and shouldn’t be kicked out of the program for a slip-up.
