Answer 1

You are very right, but the thing is that it is against Christan values. But if we were to make legal places for junkies to get their fix we would then possibly have the time to help them.
Drugs are free but you must take AIDS testing
and attend counseling then slowing wing them off the drugs. Then maybe the guns and drug wars would end as well as some of the gang attivity and robberies. But the drugs could not be provided to someone that is not a proven druggie. Our doctors do this every day. I have a father that is addicted to painkillers because he went to the same DR and he kept on giving him more drugs.The only thing is this benfitted the drug companies and that one doctor.
But unfortunatly right wingers would see it as indorsing drug use,not cleaning up our neighborhoods and over croweded jails. They don't even want to allow a simple HPV shot to protect our daughters from cervical cancer.
You made a very good point!!!

Answer 2

In my opinion, if you were to give an addict his/her drug of choice and a safe place to use, would not help in any way at all. They would not be encouraged in any way to get help, all this would do would solidify the addiction. The jails are, unfortunately, being filled with addicts and not the dealers, because it is the addict that commits and gets caught for the most obvious crimes. The dealers don't rob the little old lady for their purse, they just accept the cash once it is done. To make recovery more available and to remove the stigma that an addict can never change is what is required.

The government, which pays for many treatment centres, has a tendency to flip back and forth between abstinence and harm-reduction treatments. This gives an impression that using within moderation is possible. As far as I am concerned, the word moderation is not in the vocabulary of an actively using addict. The only way to recover is through abstinence and a 12 step program of recovery. The using is only a symptom of the disease not the disease itself.

Answer 3

we should persue the drug dealer more than the drug user, but essentially giving the user amnesty is not the way to go. Also remember that some drugs cause permanent damage, or can be overdosed on, no one wnats to be responsible for some crack addicts death or people turning to dangerous drugs because they are easier to use. Sure dealing drugs is worse, but using them aint that great. The government should provide deeper support and rehab programs for addicts and harsher punishments for major dealers.

Answer 4

yeah, its the life style that kills them, violence and diseases. But society is not trying to save them, remember?
