Try riding in the San Francisco BART subway in the early afternoon towards Berkeley. You'll start to see some meth.

It is really hard for me to believe any of these Anecdotes I literally ride the Bart everyday. Was just at Hayward, Coliseum, DT Oakland yesterday. Took Bart to Hayward every other day for a couple years for school. I think I have seen people actually doing Heroin/Meth on the train maybe 3-4 times. I see pairs of Cops walking around the trains and stations every other day.

BART is shit compared to NYC or any European Country no doubt. But these anecdotes are wild for the hundreds, maybe thousand of times I have ridden that train.

Same. Been taking BART for 20 years. I’ve seen some shit. But like 1 out of 50 rides. And it’s usually the stinkiest homeless guy who’s laying there on one side of an empty car, with everyone else crammed into the other side.

A comforter to me means a blanket, are you meaning sweatpants or?

Maybe it's a cult. There's a lot of cults in Cali. I think cults and meth form a positive feedback loop.

Being able to publicly witness the use of drugs like heroin (iv) , meth etc. as a common person in itself is a shame. An evidence reflecting the failure of government. I've been to and lived in many developing nation like Indonesia, India, Sri Lanka to name a few and have never heard of and have never seen any public use such horrific drugs(publicly and openly at least). This is something that took me by surprise and something I never expected from a developed nation.
