These people already suffer from addiction. Anything the government does to punish them just furthers their suffering and doesn’t help in any way as far we can tell. I think it’s time to paint lawmakers that imprison drug addicts as uninformed at best and immoral and evil at worst. The same goes for other drugs which could potentially end suffering of people (MDMA, Cannabis) but are currently dismayed. The war on the war on drugs needs to take up a notch.
