To the user, they are broken, and need a fix.
They don't see the long term - there is no future, there is only right now, and whether or not you have that fix.
Nothing else is important. Just getting money, getting the stuff, and getting high/low/up/down/diagonal or whatever.
That mindset is exactly why treating addicts like criminals will never come close to solving the problem. You can't comprehend the mind of the addict if you've never been there yourself.

because it's the addicts excuse for continuing the habit - don't get me wrong anyone, i'm a smoker myself! The term fix is used as the drug 'fixes' your withdrawal symptoms. in severe cases of heroin addiction, the withdrawal can actually kill those that are very unhealthy. Thus the term fix.
