this is where I fundamentally differ w/most of society. it's not that "harm reduction" is "too radical," it's that the only meaningful harm reduction IS abstinence. if someone's looking at a substance which is deadly to use & getting deadlier & goes "I'm doing it anyway," I can't save that person. they have chosen death. I don't understand their choice, but if DEATH isn't a deterrent, they cannot be deterred. & if they're choosing death over sobriety, why would I want to make that choice safer?
@earthshine or I'm not an idiot who does drugs. I certainly don't have to worry about dying of an overdose, you have fun with that though.
@earthshine it's really quite simple: you can't get addicted to something you never start using! so when you ignore all the warnings about the dangers of drugs and start using them anyway, I really don't have any sympathy when you end up addicted and dying of an overdose.
