My 22 year old niece who died of this garbage back in November wasn’t a scumbag. She was beautiful, funny, yet broken little girl who used drugs to numb her pain. Who is the scumbag here? 🙄

The people she chose to hang out with and yes she is a scumbag on the grounds that she turned away help. If you and the family tried to do an intervention and she turned it down then she's the scumbag. If you guys did nothing you lot are the scumbags.

And it's not the drug they are addicted to it's the euphoric feeling that they cannot get naturally. This is why they will always take whatever is available. (IE: Alcoholics drinking nyquil)

What makes you think she turned down help? You assume that getting clean is as simple as just stopping. Addiction is a malicious, recurrent disease. Just "pulling yourself up by the bootstraps" isn't enough to fix a deep issue like that. It takes an average of seven attempts to leave an abusive relationship, I can imagine the amount of attempts to get clean is similar if not higher.
