Why does this have to be a zero-sum game? Fix the root problems and reduce harm and get out of the pulpit.

- clnq 4y agoI am saying exactly this. Fixing the root problem through rehabilitation can be supplemented by harm reduction efforts. But harm reduction does not by itself eliminate harm, and should not be called "safe". It could be called "safer". A rehabilitated person is safe from drug use. One using hard narcotics through legalized means is not. It seems like some people are very strong supporters of "safe use" though, it is difficult to argue that there is another more sustainable approach to the narcotics problem.
