So, I am Keenly aware that drugs are funded by crime, and that crime has personally affected me by theft in the past.
I am curious to opinions held by members here..
The US treats drug use as a crime and we do not seem to get anywhere and there is an endless cycle of crime, guys busted, crime to pay for the fines, guys busted.. yada..
I know of a few programs where guys are doctors similar to doctors without borders and they distribute narcan to addicts along with clean needles but not much on the way of prevention, just saving the ones that OD..
Now I am torn, I kind of see the ones that DIE as one less person that will steal or cause harm. But the Christian side of me, says someone lost.
The Swiss, are very conservative for their area and they have a few clinics that distribute Heroin to addicts who meet certain criteria, Now I really do not agree with that, My taxes paying for something that someone else gets to enjoy and they get to lie back while my ass works.. But it seems to keep crime lower according to stats but I am not sure how those stats are gathered and if they were geared towards keeping the program.
I personally know addicts, was abandoned as a kid due to a gambling problem so addiction is always on my radar.. I Personally do not have any but also know its a disease and certain diseases are best controlled by letting them kill their hosts like Ebola.
I feel Charity should be done through church and Not taxes, but I am asking for serious, well thought out opinions on this as I get bitterly angry towards repeat relapse excuses and waver between letting them die off and putting them on an island without any drugs and telling them to fend for themselves and get clean or DIE..
I would like some honest opinions or thoughts, from members here, PM or otherwise.. I need some other ways of thinking, Mine do not seem to get resolved lol
I am aware of the countries that have banned all types of drugs and they still have addicts, If you think that works , your wrong.. Look of Krokodil or desomorphine.
The US treats it like a crime and have turned us into a Police state eroding our 4th amendment.. like many others
The other countries that compare to the US in technology and government seem to have similar problems but have harsher punishment.. Hell even Iraq hangs its criminals for thefts related to addiction.. in public
