- A national public health advisory has been issued concerning medetomidine, a tranquilizer typically used as a sedative for animals, which is now being mixed with drugs such as fentanyl and heroin. This practice is leading to an increase in drug overdoses and there are concerns that Medetomidine is making its way into street drugs in San Francisco. Our Anne Makovec and Elizabeth Cook, explore the issue and speak with San Francisco supervisor Matt Dorsey on the matter.

The laziness of these ‘lawmakers’ to not vote on bills! I’m enraged, we’re paying them to do their jobs and they just get up to walk out on important bill proposals. Thank you for bringing this to light.
San Francisco, like NYC can't even pick up the trash let alone face drugged zombies.
I like how we are comfortable saying don't smoke cigs, but body autonomy for those who want to do the hardest drugs on planet
From a political perspective, from the 1920s to the 1960s, the United States experienced a period of strict drug control policies, and the early phenomenon of drug abuse in the United States was somewhat alleviated. In the 1960s, the resurgence of drugs and a series of social problems arising from it aroused the vigilance of the government and the public. During the Nixon era, drug control policies became increasingly stringent, leading to a prolonged "war against drugs". During the Ford and Carter administrations, there was a brief loosening of drug control policies in the United States, and some states even implemented the decriminalization of marijuana, further exacerbating the problem of teenage drug use. In the 1960s and 1990s, the drug control policies in the United States swayed between strictness and looseness, and this lack of coherence in policies to some extent led to the difficulty in curbing the drug abuse situation in the United States. Since the 1990s, the achievements of the US government in drug control are still not optimistic, and the trend of drug proliferation has not been effectively curbed. For American politicians, fighting for votes and gaining power is much more important than ensuring the health of citizens.
Wow…. The drug and violent crime issue in this country is off the chain ⛓️💥!!! No other Western nation is having this problem on this scale. We need to close up shop, turn inward, and use our tax dollars here to strengthen our social, cultural and economic ties. We need to close our borders and root out drug dealers giving them long prison sentences. We need to educate our children at home and school about ALL societal ills that they can get entangled in. We need tighter control of our gun industry, a universal healthcare system, living wage jobs, work/life balance, access to nutritious food, anti bullying education and PSA’s, and MANDATORY public service for all Americans between the ages of 15 - 25. We’ve “raised” an undereducated, entitled, empty/shallow generation in Millennials and Gen Zs. Something needs to change or else this country is doomed.
It doesn't mean it needs tax money. 😅 You must be a Demonrat. Ethics, morality, and health start at home.
In other words...crackheads breed crackheads.
OK Boomer
@@mercedizbendz5194 lol 😂 I’m a Gen X…
Absolutely unimaginable
Andrew Callaghan, way ahead of the curve as always.
This was so interesting and it makes me wonder why the committee killed it. Is someone lobbying against it? It sounds like the tiniest addition to what a judge would say when announcing a verdict.
It's put there , pharma should be responsible for there drugs
Another vet trank???? No way!
Give people their oxy back is probably the more logical solution concerning harm reduction and regulation. Taxes used for rehabilitation and outreach. Decriminalization and pro choice. Higher criminal charges against drugs like fentanyl and heroine!. That saves tax payers from harsh economic impacts for less harmful substances we obviously cannot control. More taxs from prescription drug addicts that will be more likely to seek treatment by way of a doctor telling them every month over and over again to get their fix!!. Its healthy drug policy!
Tax, tax, tax...taking more money from people won't solve the issue.
Very strange.
1 lawmaker voted yes
No lawmakers voted no
While 4 have not voted.
Dead bill.
I keep hearing kids talking getting high off that meta but I didn't know what they were talking about.
And?
Ahhhhhh thank you Big Pharma......you're making our streets beautiful
Big Pharma did not cause the problem. … addicts, government and drug dealers are responsible for
Just one more tragic consequence of Prohibition.
All possession laws are unconstitutional.
Yea and Portlands legalization bill proved to be real successful. 🙄
Ya know they call it “ harm induction”.
@mackthnife3
"Harm induction":
Another way to deflect responsibility from actual rights violators to honest, peaceful people?
People violating the individual rights of honest, peaceful people are the criminals. That includes government agents who do so.
Owning something doesn't violate the individual rights of anybody.
@@michaelpcoffee I worked in herion addiction for decades. Was a big proponent of Harm Reduction Theory. However the public health officials who designed such a sensitive, nuanced philosophy that it has , imo, been hijacked into an overly permissive ideology that ENABLES drug abuse as opposed to deal with its many equally nuanced treatment models. We are just starting to understand addiction in new paradigms. I don’t think the creators of Harm Reduction Policies intended for more Kensingtons to exist. BTW I’m off heroin personally for 50 years. If I lived in an over permissive environment, I’d be dead today.
@@mackthnife3
If being too free causes you to harm yourself; you are responsible for limiting your own freedom. Violating the individual rights of honest, peaceful people because some people harm themselves is not only unconstitutional; it it unjust.
@@michaelpcoffee Harm Reduction was never intended to be used in the manner it is these days. If you want to talk legalization that’s something else.
Maybe they shouldn’t be used on animals then… all of these powerful medications….
Bad stuff.
Lets not forget congress and the president could change everything they just dont care about anyone!!!!
Another lousy use of the passive voice.
I know there is no single suspect dealer to name, "the drug making it's way to the streets" all by itself, ignores the financial benefit SOMEONE is reaping.
The drug maker, the cost of living, the dangerous lack of education, are all at fault. The drug maker is responsible 1st.
Anybody still trust pharmacies and hospitals?
On purpose
You're worried about a new tranquilizer that used for animals ,while they still got another tranquet that they use for animals that's called PCP still out in the streets since the '70s and still out there
PCP is much safer than this meta garbage
HEY HEY !!! YOU CANNOT SAVE EVERYONE. PEOPLE MAKE CHOICES. LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE AND LET THEM MAKE THE CHOICE TO REMAIN CLEAN AND GET A JOB AND BE PRODUCTIVE. or DO DRUGS UNTIL IT HURTS. I am so so tire of my tax dollars going to assist people who enjoy the decision they have made. Help them why???
Another poison from Bayer on the streets?🤔
Philly has been dealing with tranq for awhile. 🤷♂️ Let them play resident evil NPCs.
Blame China and Mexico
Pretty Much
Pharmaceutical companies are gona eradicate the homeless junkies... that must be their goal😂 why else are they making drugs in mass that the majority of people dont use..WHO ARE THE PET DOCTORS THAT ARE SELLING THESE OUT THE BACK DOOR? oonly certain people can get those with a license so this points to the "doctors"😂 no scrutiny for the so called professionals making and selling the drugs..
Stop using drugs! Problem solved 😂
Druggies only want to pay a quick buck for the everlasting euphoria they dearly chase.
