All of these overdoses are, likewise, people making these decisions for themselves.
- all2 8y agoThat's more than misleading. Having made poor choices in the past (drugs) they now have the neuro-chemical pathways cut into their ~brians~ brains; literal ruts that signals will prefer to get to the end-state (high/low). With enough use, heroin doesn't leave a person with choice, but rather impulse. [edit] lol, brians [/edit]
- loeg 8y agoSo are the smoking deaths. I think it's undisputed that there would be a lot fewer deaths per addict if the heroin available were (1) of a known concentration, (2) not fentanyl, and (3) devoid of other harmful adulterants. The problem people argue about re: legalizing heroin is that they expect the number of addicts to rise.
- pstuart 8y agoI've been given the choice (that I don't plan on taking) to drink and smoke myself to death. Eat unhealthy foods. Etc. Etc. n.b. My brother died of a heroin overdose. He made that decision himself and the existing laws did not help prevent.
