I’ve talked with addicts - very frankly. I’ve talked with folks like you, who have had addicts in their immediate family.
Rehab doesn’t have a high success rate - for a variety of reasons. I’m not sure what the right answer is, but I seriously doubt it is making heroin more available and more widely used through less enforcement/decriminalization. I don’t have to tell you what it does to people.
It’s easier (and there are fewer repercussions) for a kid in high school to get heroin than a 6-pack of beer.
I think we need to decriminalize beer before we decriminalize heroin.
Of course, because dealers don't card - only in a legal regulated market can age restrictions be enforced.
That is a blatant and bald-faced Libertarian lie. It is nonsense on the face of it.
Yep. What you said. You have to WANT to kick your bad habits.
