GENTLE PEOPLE WITH FLOWERS IN THEIR HAIR (San Francisco Area is No. 1 for Regular Illegal Drug Use)

The San Francisco metropolitan area has a higher percentage of people who are regular drug users than any other major metropolitan area in the United States, a study from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration found.

Nearly 13 percent of San Francisco residents reported using some type of illicit drug, such as marijuana, cocaine or heroin, in the previous month; the national average is 8.1 percent. Other areas with drug-abuse rates higher than the national average included Seattle, 9.6 percent; Detroit, 9.5 percent; Philadelphia, 9.1 percent; and Boston, 8.5 percent. Cities with the lowest drug included Houston, 6.2 percent; and Washington, Dallas and Riverside/San Bernardino, Calif., all at 6.5 percent. California has decriminalized marijuana for people with health problems. The state's voters passed Proposition 215 in 1996 to allow seriously ill state residents to possess and use marijuana with a doctor's prescription. In San Francisco, police and prosecutors accept a medical-marijuana identification card as proof that a resident can possess and use marijuana.

The coastal area north of San Francisco, included in the study as part of the metropolitan area, is known as a popular marijuana growing spot.

"Where marijuana is very accessible, you're going to get higher use," says Alice Gleghorn, deputy director of community behavioral health services in San Francisco's Department of Public Health.

San Francisco focuses its prevention and treatment efforts on heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine, she says.

The story you're missing is the HIV / AIDs scam which has been perpetrated on the American taxpayer for the last 30 years.

Acquired Immune Deficiency "Syndrome" (Misnomer!) is exactly that. Acquired. The human immune system is not resistant to constant insult. Following years of insult by alkyl nitrites (poppers, which relax the anal sphincter to more easily facilitate the introduction of the homosexual penis during anal intercourse) heroin, cocaine, marijuana, LSD, methamphetamine, pcp; fungal infections, viral infections, bacterial infections; antibiotics, anti-fungals, antivirals taken both to treat active infections as well as prophylaxis to prevent new infections, it is obvious that homosexuals have severely damaged their immune systems.

HIV doesn't cause AIDs. It is a harmless, ubiquitous passenger retrovirus. The very notion that this subtle retrovirus can cause a "syndrome" of over 40 separate diseases, is insane. The concept that a retrovirus, or any virus, can affect only gender is equally crazy! The test for AIDs is an antibody test, not an antigen test. It is ludicrous to perform it.

The use of AZT, a powerful carcinogen and DNA chain-terminator, has been responsible for killing thousands of people who were given this highly toxic drug to treat a totally non-existent retroviral infection.

So telling me that SF is the drug capitol of the country doesn't surprise me one iota! Homosexuals (Yes, Virginia, there are homosexuals in San Francisco!)

Yeah, I know...Duh!

But it is fun to see the official confirmation of something that we have known all along.

I wonder how the liberazis in San Franfreako are going to respond to this news.

Many will probably be outraged as this study impugns on the delicate self-esteem of San Franciscans. They will not be angry that illicit drug abuse is rampant throughout their city but they will be angry that there are those (conservatives, moderates, parents, the educated, religious, folks with common sense, etc.) who would consider such drug abuse as deviant behavior.

But then again, most of them will also be so far deep into a chemically induced drug haze and they will quickly forget what it was they were outraged about.
