Tell me you know nothing about addicts without telling me you know nothing about addicts.
- dylan604 3y agoThere's a whole level of users that do not qualify as being addicts
- ZunarJ5 3y agoThen where is the harm and why is it an issue? That's such a small minority comparing that to the actual people trying to seek answers and help. It is impossible to catch every single person acting in bad faith. You cannot make laws like that, it over litigates and prevents the people that need help from getting it. Those people are going to exist no matter what you do.
- dylan604 3y agoThere's also various levels of addicts. Yes, your junkie level addict doesn't give a damn and will do whatever it takes. There's also the professional addict or the highly functioning addict that still has a modicum of respect and a image they are still trying to maintain that buying off of the street and getting arrested would destroy. Students trying to study "all the time", housewives with their "momma's little helpers", business people, etc. Why is this difficult to understand?
- pessimizer 3y agoI don't understand what this twitter cliché is supposed to mean here. I personally know far fewer junkies than I knew when I was younger because they have died for the above reasons. Are you telling strangers that they don't know addicts?
- waboremo 3y agoIt's interesting that these threads have so many comments like these: useless anecdotes coupled with misleading questions.
- ParetoOptimal 3y agoThey were implying that arguing that risk of breaking the law for someone addicted to drugs is a view divorced from the reality of how addicts typically behave.
