It's perfectly logical, though, even if heartless. Is a man free to abuse himself? He is, in a perfectly free society. So let him use his freedom. The drug will do a quick job on him. Free supply of the drug only means that the addict has no need to go out and kill people for a couple of dollars. Will that be a suicide? Yes; however on each kiosk there will be a phone number to call in case the addict wants to live. If he doesn't call, it's his choice.
Any other solution belongs to the "Nanny State" class of solutions, where the state or the society needs to protect a person from himself. It doesn't work anyway. So in the end those who are determined to kill themselves with drugs will do that, one way or another. Usually that involves a lot of crime.
Amen!
I think drugs should be OTC and that recreational drug users should be barred from healthcare and any other services. If the Salvation Army or Lutheran Services wants to help them, so be it. But not on taxpayer dime.
