Junkies picked their lifestyle. It wasn’t forced on them. It was their choice. They can’t be rehabilitated because they don’t WANT to be rehabilitated. So all the compassion in the world won’t change a thing. The best way to deal with them is to arrest them for their crimes and slap them in jail. Or alternatively let them OD and not waste any medical resources trying to save them. I don’t know about you, but I personally feel zero responsibility for their self inflicted plight. There are some people that are determined to be a drain on the rest of us and all the resources expended in trying to help them are just wasted.
“arrest them for their crimes and slap them in jail”
arrest them for their crimes and make them do hard agricultural labor....
They hate hard work—perhaps even more than they love their drugs.
