Wait. So you're telling me that selecting people who have little-to-no self-control with drug use, are totally consumed by it... don't get better if you provide free of consequences drugs to them?
I am shocked.
I understand some people started, or keep doing drugs because they felt horrible on a daily basis even before the drugs, and don't care anymore if it kills them. They just want some relief from that, waiting for death.
But you can't enable them. Their lack of impulse control make them a danger to others and themselves.
Their behavior degrades society around them.
Many of them can also recover, and you're keeping them in self-destruction.
Many who wouldn't have fallen so low, now will because you make drug abuse easier.
So forecefully detox them, and maby start adressing the roots of their crippling mental health problems, because a large % of junkies are not just too stupid to live, something broke them ( like a lack of meaning in life caused by the downfall of family / cultural cohesion).
The approach prompted concern from Sen. James Manning, D-Eugene, about whether Humphreys was advocating a return to drug war policies that negatively impacted communities of color.
There ya go. Destroy civilization because ''muh systemic racism'' Critical Race Theory bullshit. Diversity is killing us.
The "roots" of opiate addiction are not just chronic physical pain, but the misery and hopelessness that follow from grinding poverty and the treadmill of ungainful work, existential despair, the meaninglessness and shallowness of contemporary culture, loneliness and alienation.
Not very likely that such problems can be eliminated, so let people have their opiates if they want them and reserve legal punishments--indeed, increase the severity of punishments--for those who make themselves a public nuisance
