Okay...If all life is so precious why are you okay with the idea of handing out free syringes and crack pipes? These people are slowly killing themselves. Kinda seems foolish to argue with puddles why free crack pipes is a good thing and then post how all life is precious.
bro, if we hand out free crack pipes syringes etc... the dopers aint gonna
increase or decrease their usage. if you legalize drugs, peeps that don't
do drugs aint gonna start. drug prohibition doesn't deter drug use. peeps
that are gonna do drugs are gonna do them anyway. the idea is damage
control and if we can move into a direction of less punitive reaction and
more of a humane response. helping these people to avoid more damage
while they do what there gonna do anyway is the way i interpret. if we
don't have such programs they're not gonna wake up and say," wow i'm
killing myself and i better stop." i liken it to methadone. methadone
keeps junkies from illegal activities, gives them a pre measured dose
so OD's are minimized and the risk of needle related disease is minimized
i don't see this as enabling or condoning self destructive behavior. i do
see how you and others could view it like that. it's completely
understandable. i'm coming from the persective of an ex doper whos
seen every side of the coin.
