You want to leave drugs users, on the most potent substances ever created, in open-air drug camps full of violence, rape, filth, more drugs, etc? Do you expect them to one day pull the fentanyl out of their arm and walk over to the Apple store to get a job?
The drugs, and the camps, kill people. If they don't have the wherewithal to move then we need to do it for them. They can't get better while living in filth and honestly can't choose to do better. Once they're imprisoned, in a drug program - not a jail, for the 3-5 years it takes to actually detox they'll be ready to start to get clean and on their feet.
- triceratops 4y agoI don't think GP was only talking about imprisoning lawbreakers (not including laws for sleeping rough, or vagrancy).
- masterof0 4y agoYup, I would love to see all this people contributing to solve the problem, or actually taking a homeless person to live with them, etc...
- LawTalkingGuy 4y agoTaking a druggie to live with you will destroy your home and your life. It's not voluntary. Once they get detoxed though they're going to be looking for a room to rent and a friend and now your offer of help is both wanted and sustainable.
