In politics most people just critizise each other, but what did your local government actually do a good job on?

    I fucking hate when nerds request a source for something that is clearly an opinion or common sense. What are you disputing?

      Common sense is extremely subjective.

      Is it really more effective to not help addicts than to use harm reduction methods?

      “Facts over feels” and all that.

        There is a difference between harm reduction and giving addicts free drugs. You know this and are greatly oversimplifying the discussion.

          Giving addicts free drugs is a subset of harm reduction. Honestly, at this point in the discussion, we need numbers to be productive.

            What is the incentive to quit drugs if you are given them for free your entire life?

              If they’re not stealing for money, supporting the black market, dying of overdoses, or spreading disease by sharing needles, and have consistent dosages and proximity to support programs, why quit?

              Probably the massive social stigma and loss of positive effects due to built tolerance.

              It would make the problem way less urgent at any rate.

                Yeah sorry I’m not sure social stigma is going to stop addicts from using drugs. agree to disagree I guess.
