    Starbucks to install needle disposal boxes for drug users

    Starbucks is installing needle-disposal boxes in locations across America following OSHA penalties and worker concerns about drug use in bathrooms

    https://www.businessinsider.com/star...cations-2019-4

    May be a trend if more dems pick up the charge to decriminalize heroin and opioids.

    Well, the last time I walked downtown Seattle a few months ago, it wasn’t uncommon to see discarded needles on the sidewalks.

    The city won’t allow the police to enforce the law.

    My family members wear sandals. Much better to have the needles handled responsibly. Welcome to the new normal people!

    Better that than people who handle the trash getting stuck by those needles and contracting HIV.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    We are at a point now where we need to facilitate everything and accept anything.


    Next we should just have professionally monitored injection stations where free heroin is distributed to addicts and its administered my health care professionals. There'd be no need for people to shoot heroion on a street corner and drop the needles.


    Hell they could even establish experimental stations where one can give it a try just to see how they like it.

    Don't you want to progress? Facilitate? Be more sensitive to the needs and wants of others? /Rhetorical sarcasm.

    Seriously though, I doubt many used syringes will be deposited anywhere but in the Proggy dope fiend ridden areas like SF and NY to assuage the Lefties that want bathrooms open to all whether you're buying coffee or not.

    Makes common sense in my book; the last thing anyone wants is for some employee or customer getting stuck from a needle since there is no telling what the status was of the person who put it there in the first place.
    God Bless America, God Bless our Military and God Bless the Police who defended the country against the insurgents on January 6, 2021

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.

    Most will be used for diabetics I would imagine. But if illicit drugs syringes are in there as well…it’s probably better if people are not getting jabbed by syringes.

    That it pisses off conservatives is only icing on the cake.

    The heroin epidemic has hit middle America the hardest. The highest overdose rates are in states like Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee, Missouri and West Virginia.
