Sure, I don’t think this will enable them more than any other source. I guess in my case with the difficulties I’ve experienced, the pain my kids and I are still experiencing, any source of the substance at the root of it is hard to accept.
It’s not the substance though, it’s the structures around them. I suppose when you have personal experice with the harms of drugs, as directly as you are describing, it would become difficult to care about that distinction though.
You can’t remove the substance from the equation entirely like that. Yes there are a lot of other problems too, but pretending meth or fentanyl or whatever isn’t harmful on its own is not helping.
Remember the drugs are usually the catalyst that get people on the street. People can hold it together right up until they become addicted, then the substance makes everything worse.
I’m not an addict yet. But I’m addicted to the street. I can’t say your statement is a constant truth. My addiction to the street is based off adrenaline, not trap sold drugs. I’ve never done more than weed and mushrooms - a long time ago.
The streets about freedom, people aren’t necessarily there for drugs. But drugs play a huge role in how people into the freedom of street life survive. If you’re selling drugs you can be free. The fiends are pawns and used like cattle for cash. It’s really twisted and fucked up and I often wonder why people push so hard for trendy political change but aren’t willing to bring it to street thugs. Some people even make their money killing. The amount of shit I’ve gathered from having one foot in the street… I guarantee there is no such thing as law an order in America. Unless maybe you have money your might see some of that traditional American image.
Would you rather that source be providing clean drugs and the money going towards drug education and addiction prevention programs, or filled with God knows what and the money going towards guns for a gang or cartel.
The demand is and will always be there. Better the supply come from an organ we can regulate then a crime syndicate.
Oh but I’m a precious American and that stuff doesn’t happen even though murder is on the news everyday and the gang do bNes from the neighboring states. /S
I’m about gang up just to slaughter a trap. Those clowns deserve death. I grew up around losers like that. They do kill and get away with it. Cops don’t even listen. America is dead as fuck. I’d rather so some other country bulldoze this place.

I’m not convinced that safe and legal drug taking will enable addicts any more than they’re already so.
Also there are many recreational drug takers who don’t harm society.

Understandable.
