I think the hypothetical here is that illegal activities could rise in search of money to feed drug addiction. This would come in the form of theft, robbery, etc. It's not as if no one ever stole money to buy food.
- brokenmachine 10y agoI don't know about the premise that there would be more people stealing to feed addiction. Is there a significant problem with people stealing now to feed alcohol addiction?
- alsetmusic 10y agoI'm only saying that a need creates a motive. When I was eighteen and addicted to cigarettes, I scrounged every inch of my apartment for coins to buy a pack. I imagine an addiction to harder drugs would create a greater need. I only pontificated on what I thought the parent might mean. I didn't state a fact.
