Functional or not it is illegal. Both functional and non functional heroine users can be put into prison for life with no parole and it will fix both the problems of dysfunctional people roaming around and people dying from it. With real consequences people will actively avoid such substances. It will clean up society and disincentivize new people from trying as they will bot want to give up their life and family for something so petty. It needs to be overwhelmingly obvious that it will mess up your life for good if you try or distribite even a little bit.

- charcircuit 1y agoIn the US is not illegal to be left handed, nor does being left handed ruin anyone's life. It is in no way comparable.
- dragonmost 1y agoWhy help people when you can just get rid of them instead /s
- charcircuit 1y agoThe goal is to improve life for law abiding citizens. Removing these from society is helping all the people in society. 2 birds with 1 stone.
- vidarh 1y agoIt's not helping the addicts. Nor is it helping the people who don't want to live under a brutally oppressive and cruel regime.
- charcircuit 1y agoAddicts are a sacrifice I'm willing to make for the greater good of the populace. For how much heroine can ruin people's lives I do not think it is oppressive or cruel to punish people with the loss of a life in perpetuating such a life ruining substance. But it is still helping those people due to the benefits of addicts no longer existing.
- vidarh 1y agoPersonally I'd be more inclined to sacrifice people advocating cruel, oppressive policies for the greater good if we should consider sacrifice someone, as I consider those attitudes far more harmful. This is the problem with advocating policies that sacrifices anyone: Someone else will want to sacrifice you
- hsbauauvhabzb 1y ago“Some of you may die, but that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”
- StefanBatory 1y agoAs long as the society won't decide you are to be removed from the society, too. At which point I'm sure you will comply and decide to sacrifice yourself for the society, you will, right? What has happened in your life that you are so devoid of empathy?
- charcircuit 1y agoI would not be above the law if that's what you are asking. >so devoid of empathy? I'm using my empathy to improve the lives of the many people who have to deal with people dying or having their lives ruined by these drugs. Improving the lives of people who have to deal with dysfunctional people on drugs. There are also second order affects that many more people are suffering from.

- hitarpetar 1y agoby God it should be
- AngryData 1y agoWhat you said here is essentially "Because it is illegal and they knowingly broke the law we should ostracize these people from society" without ever broaching whether it should be illegal or not to start with or if drug use by itself deserves being ostracized.
- charcircuit 1y agoYes, that is what I did.
- anal_reactor 1y agoDaily reminder that Boston Tea Party was illegal. If those people were properly punished then US wouldn't have got independence, and the world would've been a much better place.
- halfmatthalfcat 1y agoIndependence was happening no matter what.
- charcircuit 1y agoBritain losing America as a colony was a major fail. If they had properly dealt with those people who had participated it would have slowed down the movement of American gaining its independence. It serves as a warning not to let small crime fester as those people can cause larger problems through network effects.
- hitarpetar 1y agonot only tough on crime but a committed imperialist. nice.
- 1718627440 1y agoI don't think the United States had a much different policy towards the original inhabitants than the colonial government of Britain. Slavery became illegal in european colonizer countries earlier than in the United States. (Some argue it still isn't.) It's not the colonized people that gained freedom, it's the colonizers who were freed from taxes so they could exploit more unregulated. In this case it is between one imperialist country vs. another, so wouldn't label that position imperialistic necessarily.
- StefanBatory 1y agoBoth functional and non functional people without empathy can be put into prison for life with no parole and it will fix both the problems of dysfunctional peoplewithout any morals. With real consequences people will actively avoid being assholes.
- c22 1y agoWe've been sending people to prison for heroin use for decades but people still seem to take it up. Even the non-legal consequences of heroin addiction always seemed real enough to disincentivize me from trying it. Clearly those who become dependent on heroin approached their use from a different perspective than mine so I expect any solution I could think of to help these people would have to look outside the realm of 'what would work for me.'
