- hehhehaha 3y agoBecause we simultaneously give people the freedom to do whatever they want to do, and also catch them when they suffer the consequences of their actions. IMO, you either have freedom and responsibility, or control and care. I'd be ok legalizing drugs tomorrow if non-drug users do not need to subsidize the care for drug users.
- rayiner 3y agoIf you think society has an obligation to you to give you a cradle to grave safety net (and I do), then you have to accept the reciprocal responsibility of maintaining yourself as a productive member of that society. It’s antisocial in a very specific sense of the term—reducing your capacity to take care of someone else who might need the help for reasons outside their control.
- cameldrv 3y agoThe problem is that responsibility comes from reason, and drugs like Fentanyl are a direct attack on your faculties of reason. A lot of Enlightenment ideals fall down when faced with hyper addictive things IMO, and we just keep inventing new ones.
