hey, SanFran Nan:
clean up your own house!
and get the feces off the sidewalks of San Francisco!
Welcome to Fentanyl.
Just about every level of government, institution, and religion is out to “do something about the opiod crisis”. But it just keeps getting worse.
Obviously something is amiss.
Maybe it’s time to emulate China and do what they did when they had a heroin problem. Sounds inhumane and probably is, but there doesn’t seem to be any solution.
U.C. Chico is drug central for Butte and other counties.

No sympathy here. Drug use, other than as prescribed, is a CHOICE. Choose badly and you pay the price.
Let the abusers die in the streets and execute the dealers.
I remember reading a while back that in China, drug users are FORCIBLY removed from society and given treatment until they give up drugs. Drug traffickers are executed.
Sounds like something this country could consider but a very small chance of this happening.
Play stupid games, win nasty prizes. Whst rock must you live under not to be aware of opioid/fentanyl/carfentanyl dangers? These folks show no concern for themselves or their fellow citizens. The approach of public health officials to this problem is far to conciliatory, from the start. There needs to be a more prominent case made for interdiction at the border/points of entry and draconian punishment for those who import and distribute. Users should not be shown such a sympathetic reaction. Somewhere along the line younger people were not educated well enough to never touch heroin/opiods. Makes me ask the question - are the right people dying of opioid overdoses?
They report this like it's a bad thing for junkies to OD! Junkies are the lowest form of life on the planet. If they all dropped dead tomorrow the world would be a better place. They are NOT victims. Their troubles are willingly and knowingly self inflicted. Why should I or anyone else who is actually a responsible human being give a rat's a$$ about what happens to them.
I had a friend whose kid put him through hell: expensive rehab, arrests for burglary, all to feed his habit that the kid had no intention of seriously wanting to get rid of. Last I heard he and his wife finally had to give up because NOTHING they did made any difference. They had to change the locks to keep the kid from stealing whatever he could. ANd last I heard they hadn't heard anything from him for a couple of years.
I told my son years ago: see where most suicides are committed - socialist societies. It is a losing view of life.
Chinese manufactured fentanyl, walked across our wide open southern border.
China learned a lot from the Opium Wars.
Ah! Ha! Chico used to be where students wanted to attend college because of the drugs. Must be it’s never changed from the ‘60’s...
The problem of the desire for these drugs created among young people who should have everything to live for IS a real crisis.
That addicts are saving society money in bunches by killing themselves? Comes with the territory.
Some might say it was just Darwin doing his job.
Such a detestable garbage headline new severe phase when this schizz happened in the Midwest and south starting 2014. Oh its in Chico now? Quelle surprise.
Somehow, overdosing by users of illegal drugs leaves by empathy meter stuck on ZERO.
Eliminating the dregs of society. No sympathy. They did it to themselves. Stupid is as stupid does.
The Cartel lords do not want the wall built and they are paying our politicians very well to see that it is not built.
There can be no solution to the “drug crisis” as long as there are users out there willing to pay lots of money for drugs. The solution needs to address the users, and that’s not going to happen if it includes punishing the rich and powerful, and their kids.
Why waste all the money, time and effort on saving those who do not want to be saved. They are just going to do it again as soon as they get back home.
