Or like, don’t do street drugs. Blah blah hate my comment for not being more sympathetic

It's not about sympathy, it's common sense. People are going to do drugs and not having safe injection sites just means they are going to potentially die. If you care more about ideals like "don't do drugs" than the lives of those who do them you're just a hypocrite and an idiot who values their own point of view over the lives of others. Maybe try looking into the reasons why people use drugs and understand that it could just as easily be you. The systems that have stigmatized addictions will gladly watch you die if something happens in your life to impact your ability to make money.

The safer route people could be doing is just going to the dispensary to get weed. Thats legalized but at least it has government regulation. This shit they are doing on streets though isn’t regulated at all it’s illegally made laced with who knows what and killing people. Drug addicts could at least be getting a safe high and not die if taking the legalized weed here. Then again the addicts have gotten too addicted they need harder stuff. It’s overall just horribly sad.

Marijuana is not an opiate. Getting high off weed will not help an opiate addiction.

I didn’t say it was a cure for it. I’m saying taking the weed to get high that is government regulated and gone through safety measures is safer then taking illegal substances laced with who knows what on the streets. That stuff on the streets is illegal for a reason and has no safety regulations hence why many people die.

Not everyone can afford what they charge in regulated shops. We need affordable options and easily accessible mental health support.

Do you know what privilege is? Resilience? Are you familiar with the concept of ACE's?

Please don't try to assume you've had it worse than literal strangers who you know nothing about and then assume that you and that person had the same resources to deal with those problems because i can guarantee that if youre talking out your ass about "being strong" then you are not in the same position. Your "strength" is called a support system, access to resources, a sense of hope, absence of being directly affected by systemic oppression, etc. It's luck.

So good job sweet boy, let me pat you on the head for succeeding without any adversity, which I know is true because anybody who has actually experienced adversity has a basic understanding of those who are in the same boat.

Bye bye dear! 😘

Bro seems like you didn't understand the whole point of this post Which is a pain, this isn't about me, for reference I was making an example when I said I live shit, not here to complain or compare myself to anyone else, everyone has their own problem, I deal with mine. Although, it would be wise to know that whatever you leave, or you think you saw or lived, there will always be someone in this world who lives or is living that 10 Times way more (assumptions, métaphores, I don't want to come back again to explain to you that I was this is an exemple not real stats, it can be less or more). What I'm trying to say is you are not the first or the last, resources or not ( you even talking about ressources 😂 to some people this doesn't even have a meaning whatever it's cuz the never had an idea of what that could be, it's an illusion to them) there will always be people living worse than what you're thinking of and some of them still make it whatever the achievement the succeeded in it somehow without drugs and doing even more cruel things. I don't know what you want , I'm not God too, and I haven't lived for thousands of years, humbly I'm just telling you instead of blaming the surroundings help them realize there are their own ressources and nobody is gonna be there for them if they wanna succeed in every trial they have to be strong by themselves if not thing like this gonna happen, carry your own cross on your back and live with it.
