Dr. Drew: Prop. 47 Is Murder

Mary Stringini reports for Fox 11 in L.A.:

Dr. Drew Pinsky is calling on lawmakers to modify Prop 47, which he says is enabling individuals with mental health issues to deny treatment.

“The fact is — (Prop) 47 is murder. It is murder,” Dr. Drew told FOX 11 during a Good Day LA interview Monday morning.

Prop 47, also known as the Safe Neighborhoods and Schools Act, was a referendum passed by California voters in November 2014. The law changed drug possession from a felony to a misdemeanor, which means drug addicts won’t go to jail for shooting up in public.
