People have an obligation to be productive to society. If they check-out and use drugs all day, they are not creating the value needed to feed, clothe and shelter themselves. Therefore if we allow people to live in this state, the work of other people is sustaining them, and we (society) have become enablers. Sadly, just look at the god awful “linkage centers” in SF for how your ideas play-out in reality. These “harm reduction” ideas are more like life-support for addicts. Yes maybe there are fewer deaths but I think there probably is more suffering.
