yea i cant fuck with heroin. for one ill never use a needle and 2 ill never snort shit lol pharmacueticals are good cause i know whats in them . it sucks when people need pain meds and cant get em! happens too often around here. drug seeking junkies ruined it for honest in pain people.
I take a more compassionate approach. Addiction is a health issue and I think it's all too easy to dismiss "junkies" and "seekers". I also know it's really easy to get that label which can further alienate people from the proper medical care.
The studies that Canada carried out, providing heroin to users who failed traditional maintenance therapies showed excellent results. People that hadn't been able to obtain housing, found housing. People that couldn't hold down jobs, became employed. Folks health improved across the board. It's a different approach. Imagine how much time/crime is prevented when one isn't constantly seeking the next fix? It's a full time job, and a lot of work.
I also feel for people that go down the rabbit hole from prescription drug use. Starts off helping, ends up harming.
But damn does it suck to be under medicated. There are days I've considered breaking my own rules, as the pain was driving me insane and anything that would aid in the escape would have been welcomed.
Just my thoughts, not judging your viewpoint
