You can’t legislate personal responsibility or morality. Everyone involved in this chain of death ( from the people making the drug, transporting it, marketing and selling it, those who for a price willingly overlooked all of it, and finally the individuals who with their own free will decided to use it) molded their conscience to allow participation. The culture of hedonism and decadence is hence “normalized”. Its the same process that allows politicians and others to acquiesce to the wanton killing of pre born human life and even newly born , breathing life. Really wonder how long American, with such a high percentage of its population that has entered a post Christian neo pagan state of epicurean narcissism, without a unifying common consensus of values will continue to exist as a nation.
The bottom line and the element that drives all of this is the junkie. People act like addicts are to be pitied. Why? It isn’t like they don’t know the consequences of their actions and go ahead and do those actions anyway. Without the base of loser drug users none of this would be a problem.
