I don’t know about judgment....I don’t care what drugs people use. It is possible to use opiods for their it ended purpose. The problem stems from those who use them for pleasure or to soothe addiction.

At some point judgment must come into the equation. Many people who have children who are addicted end up disowning them. These children will lie steal cheat and make everyone’s life around them a living hell. Is it improper to “judge them” and kick them out of your house? I think not.

There is no solution to the majority of addicts who prey upon society to feed their habit.

Why is this sort of “judgment” bad? If an addict takes a fatal dose of heroin, is society obligated to save their life, knowing they will prey upon the vulnerable to get what they want without remorse?

Has “absence of judgment” ever cured an addict?

At some point you have to say “enough”.

Nobody said that bad behavior driven by drug addiction is not to be judged or is to somehow be tolerated. I certainly didn’t say it. What I did say is standing in judgment of someone who is having a very difficult time beating heroin addiction by saying “just quit” is ignorance born of not having a clue.
