What if the money I spend on heroin helps make the heroin industry financially viable? What if my overdose winds up costing a ton of money in medical fees? What if I die and my mother is overwhelmed with grief? What if addiction causes me to lose my job and I'm forced to steal from a grocery store to survive?
What if addiction makes me completely vulnerable to people willing to exploit that addiction for their own gain?
- mikestew 7y agoWhat if it were all true? It would still be a victimless crime. As I understand it, those are secondary effects of what is still a victimless crime. I believe this also reduces the need for any further what-iffing.

- chasing 7y agoYou read this thread and that’s the argument you thought I was making? Or did you just think that was a saucy zinger to aim at me? If it’s the former, reply and I’ll clarify my point. I definitely do not agree with what you wrote.
