Program offers meth pipes to drug users for free in Seattle | Local & Regional | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Breaking News | KOMO News
While i am 100% against the "War on Drugs" this is just plain ludicrous. Here is another, although state-wide and soon to be all across the country: States help get heroin antidote into hands of regular folks | National & World News | Seattle News, Weather, Sports, Breaking News | KOMO News
I have no problem with publicly funded drug treatment centers, in fact I think they are an excellent use of tax dollars, HOWEVER, supplying drug users with the paraphernalia to continue their habit as well as antidotes to overdoses is simply giving these people the blessings of society to continue their parasitic actions against society in general.
In my opinion, if a drug addict wants to get clean they should be welcomed into a treatment program with the proviso that they have ONE allowance for falling off the wagon. After that one forgiveness if they fall again they are on their own. If they are convicted of any crime while under the influence of drugs they are out (after the one allowance) and any subsequent problems will be dealt with as a matter of law and not compassion. The TRUTH is that no one is forced to try illicit drugs, it is ALWAYS a choice and bad choices have bad consequences.
I come to this position having known some drug users over the years. Some were fairly benign such as many that used marijuana on a regular basis but still could hold down a full-time job without consequences. Some have been methamphetamine users and among those were some that kicked the habit as well as others that died as a result of their habit. I even had a somewhat close relationship with a heroin addict that was on a Methadone treatment plan.
I think that the insane War on Drugs at the federal level needs to halted and the money currently being misspent needs to be funneled to treatment for those that want it and the rest of the drug users can go to that eternally hot place. At a more local level I would allow anyone 21 or over to use whatever drugs they desired BUT they would be held totally responsible for their actions, meaning that if they violated any other laws (stealing, driving under the influence, harassment or whatever) they would be be held fully accountable under the specific laws in those violations. If someone had overdosed themselves I would NOT be in any hurry to give them the instant remedy (for heroin, as listed in the second news story) simply because it proves there is no need for a person to be responsible for themselves.
Harsh? You bet it is! Needed? I think so. This world is being destroyed by overpopulation and far too many people are giving nothing to society in general but ARE a major drain on society.
Just my opinion.
One more reason why I hate Seattle.
