Drug Users Erupt After San Francisco Moves To Tie Welfare to Drug Testing

WFB: Drug users are upset with the San Francisco city government after the mayor proposed drug tests be required for recipients of welfare.

“It’s our choice to use if we want to use,” resident Amy Brown said of the policy, which Democratic mayor London Breed proposed this week as a measure to fight the city’s homelessness and crime epidemic that’s causing businesses to flee.

“I want to cry just thinking about it,” Shelly Brown, another resident, told the San Francisco Chronicle in interviews the paper conducted with drug users.

“What are they going to do, starve to death?” resident Clayton Johnson said. “What if they have kids? How are you just going to cut them off?”

Breed this week said the proposal would bring “accountability.”

“We need to make a significant change,” Breed said. “No more ‘anything goes’ without accountability, no more handouts without accountability.” more

  1. What a joke. Politicians – especially California democrats – aren’t held accountable for their actions, do you really think they will alienate their drug using voter block by making them accountable for their choices? No effin way.

  2. !!!… and sugar tits Newsom vetoed unemployment compensation for striking workers! There are signs these m-fs know they’ve gone too far. Only signs though. Head fake, maybe people will calm down and quit bitching about democrats turning a great civilization into a dumpster fire.

    Just throw some fakes out there and continue behind the scenes, people are too ignorant and lazy to look beyond the moment to see the everlasting intent.

  3. I’m old enough to remember when Republicans were called “fascists” and “Nazis” for requiring drug testing for any welfare benefits. But, as always, the rules are “different” for us.
