> A victimless crime
One should note that addicts do commit all sorts of crimes to continue their addiction. There probably needs to be some form of back attribution of said acts to those who leech off of addictions
IMO $277M (the value of the bitcoin) should be confiscated as possible and redirected to help victims of such crimes ...
- schwartzworld 6y agoThat is a side effect of prohibition.
- maerF0x0 6y agoPeople commit crimes to acquire all kinds of legal things, why wouldn't an addict do so to acquire legalized drugs?
- schwartzworld 6y agoIf you are an addict and want to get clean, there are very few resources at your disposal (unless you are wealthy). Many addicts start out being prescribed drugs by a legitimate doctor, but are left without resources to break their addictions when the prescription runs out. Most if not all addicts do not want to be addicted. While there may be some small group of people who commit crime for fun to go buy drugs, typically it is an act of desperation. Nobody ever says "I want to be a junkie when I grow up".
