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?
An absolutely false statement.
You must not know anything about how addiction works or how drugs work, or you're a cop.
Do yourself a favor and get ahold of a Reason Magazine and stop with the HYSTERIA.
I waited 12 hours to reply to this hysterical nonsense you posted.
@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.
