MTG: ‘America Has A Drug Problem’ With SSRIs, Psychiatric Drugs Common Among Mass Shooters

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posited “it’s not just a coincidence” that many mass shootings are carried out by young men who take anti-depressants and other psychotropic drugs.

“Mass shootings are a sign that America has a drug problem, a serious drug problem. But no one wants to give attention to it,” the Congresswoman said. “This mass shooting issue, it really affects mostly boys.”

“Here’s what I want to talk about. I want to talk about with psychiatric medications like SSRIs, they have side effects, they do. They have side effects like thoughts, they cause thoughts, homicidal thoughts, suicidal thoughts, that is a common known side effect of SSRIs,” Congresswoman Greene said.

Opium’s Revenge

We are losing this war.

Let me begin by painting a picture. Drugs flow across a lengthy and wide-open border, flooding into the nation, affecting millions, causing incredible misery, addiction, early death, and an epidemic of raging proportions. Aided by a government that is either unwilling or too incompetent to address the problem and stop this scourge.

It gets worse. Drug cartels and criminal elements on both sides of the border make astronomical amounts of money, while foreign business interests reap great profits off the illicit and illegal drug trade. On one side of this equation, fortunes are made, while on the other millions suffer the degradation and misery of this endless supply of drugs.

The Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction said in an alert there is a rising presence in the drug supply of potent synthetic opioids referred to as nitazenes, which are often more potent than fentanyl.

Nitazenes usually appear unexpectedly in drugs assumed to contain other types of opioids like fentanyl, oxycodone and non-medical benzodiazepines, said the centre.

First ever paid prescription fentanyl program launches in Vancouver

Dr. Christy Sutherland, medical director for PHS Healthcare, the organization running the program, said the goal is to meet substance users where they are at, instead of administering alternatives like Dilaudid that patients may not find helpful.

“The common feedback we had from patients was that they would prefer fentanyl, that we needed to match what they were buying from the drug dealer in order to get them away from that street supply. So we worked as a team to create a new fentanyl option for our patients and community,” she said, speaking on CBC’s On The Coast.

“Hunter’s Law” – GOP Reps Introduce New Bill Barring US Gov’t From Giving Out Free Crack Pipes

Following last week’s revelation by the Washington Free Beacon that the Biden Administration had provided free crack pipes and “safe smoking kits” to drug addicts in San Francisco and elsewhere, it appears two Republican lawmakers have proposed a new bill dubbed “Hunter’s Act”, which aims to prevent the Biden administration from spending taxpayer dollars on crack pipes and other drug paraphernalia.

Biden admin to send crack pipes to drug addicts to advance ‘racial equity’

The baffling measure is included in the Department of Health and Human Services’ fiscal year 2022 Harm Reduction Program Grant program. In the document, the crack pipe plan is described as the dispersion of federal government funds for the slightly more anodyne “smoking kits/supplies.”

Hunter is in charge of quality control.

Is the ‘War on Drugs’ over? Canada is seeing a ‘shift’ in its approach to drugs, experts say

The federal government introduced legislation Tuesday to repeal mandatory minimum penalties for drug offences, and Health Canada decided last year to allow some palliative patients to use psilocybin — the chemical compound in magic mushrooms — to relieve end-of-life suffering. Toronto and Vancouver have also called for the decriminalization of the possession of small amounts of drugs.
