If us taxpayers are on the hook for someone messing themselves up and/or being too drugged up to work, it's our business. Get rid of welfare (including taxpayer funded health care) and it's just your business. Not only will that reduce how much we argue about it, it'll make the drug users experience enough of the real world pain to increase the odds that they get off of it. It'll also increase the odds that observers will decide not to try drugs in the first place and wind up in the gutter themselves.
But as long as us taxpayers keep bailing out the drug users, the drug users have less incentive to either avoid drugs or use them in moderation. People are always more reckless when other folks foot the bill.
Well said! Couldn’t agree more!
