They should be locked up and restrained, until they kick the monkey. Then when they are clean. They should rat out the dealers as they lead a death squad.
They point the squad shoots.
I say give the homeless all the free booze, narcotics and speed they want in encampments with minimal medical intervention. Enabling them to roam in public is the source of the plague. Get them off the streets and let them commit suicide somewhere else with as much shit as they can pump in their veins and bodies.

Why should government tell me what I can and can not put into my body?
Lock em up, cold turkey, they'll recover eventually after surviving a few withdrawals.
Because if the users don't kill themselves, they become an economic burden, social burden, and a moral burden on everyone else.
This applies also to people who abuse hamburgers.

They should be allowed to od and let Darwin sort them out.
Right. Does anybody argue for free unlimited hamburgers to be provided for anyone who wants them? I don't think so.

The question is - what is cheaper - to incarcerate addicts after they steal stuff, or to give them FREE! drugs. Incarceration costs 30-60K per year in US + stuff that addicts soil/break while stealing. FREE! drugs probably cost a dollar per injection - plastic syringe costs next to nothing, and drug production is also extremely cheap. No reason to steal if free drugs available, less heartache and wasted $$ for everyone except prison guard unions. On a more philosophical level, another question is why government should be able to control what someone puts in his body? They started with drugs, and now they are seamlessly gliding to prohibiting sodas, fat hamburgers, etc.

Its a false concept that there are addicts in state prisons who were only addicts. Addicts, even those busted for sales, are given countless chances by the courts, with drug courts a regular thing. Incarceration vs decriminalizing isn't actually a thing although an addiction to drugs may cause one to commit crimes one otherwise would not. .
a junkie with an unlimited access to drugs won't be able to provide for himself, so the society will be on the hook for the rest of it - food, shelter, clothing, healthcare... Basically Communism for junkies.
Let's not kid ourselves: a junkie with an unlimited access to drugs won't be able to provide for himself, so the society will be on the hook for the rest of it - food, shelter, clothing, healthcare... Basically Communism for junkies.
People who eat candy and drink sodas and consume alcohol cost us an order of magnitude more then the small number of unfortunate souls killing them selves with dope
Are there really no psychologists or former addicts on this site?
Souls killing themselves with dope then leaving three or four kids to their aging parents. Or worse yet, the scumbags have babies while high on Opiates and give birth to Junkie babies. The State steps in and for every sensible dollar you would think is spent $1,000 of your tax dollars is spent. All paid out to unaccountable private companies serving as agencies, who toss business cards around like candy and bill the government a perdiem each time someone reads the name on their card.
Grandparents can adopt the kid but those private companies hang on to their shirt tails for a good two years before the court will finalize the adoption(The cheapest route).
If grandfolks don't take the kids, they are put up for Foster Oh that's some big dollar high money Kid Rearing right there. That's what the Childnet really wants. Everybody gets paid every month until the kids are 18. Some states will even pay for their college.
Tell me where Hamburgers does that much carnage without hy...
Heartless assholes, all of you.
I'll support family/friends helping an addict to see the light and quit, but government!? Maybe you forget how government deals with sick people(see Kelly Thomas). Heartless assholes, all of you.
Decriminalizing drugs didn’t mean letting drug use run rampant, or even that drugs are legal . The system works so that someone caught with drugs in a public place are escorted by police to a police station, where they will confiscate the drugs, weigh them, and determine whether the amount exceeds a certain threshold. If it does, the person might be suspected to be a dealer and sent to the criminal justice system. If not, the person is instead sent to the Ministry of Health.
“Drug use is still prohibited, but you won’t get penalized or sent to jail,” Goulão states. “The police can catch you using drugs, but you don’t get a criminal record, you don’t go to jail, you don’t have a criminal procedure.”
Instead, when caught drug users must present themselves at one of 18 commissions throughout Portugal, where a panel will discuss their drug problem (or lack thereof). The panel typically consists of one psychologist or doctor, a social worker, and a “technical support” team charged with developing an appropriate rehabilitative approach based on treatment.
Teenagers who are caught with weed during an experimental, youthful phase are often dismissed with barely a slap on the hand. Those deemed to be addicts are placed in rehab or community centers, where they’re given a certain amount of time to try to recover from their addiction. If they relapse and are caught with drugs again, they enter the same tribunal and are placed in rehab again if it’s considered worthwhile. They still receive no punishment or criminal record.
“The main goal [of the commission] is to evaluate what kind of needs the person has,” Goulão said. “If you’re addicted, I’ll invite you to the treatment center. Tomorrow at 10 o’clock you have an appointment. Most of the time, they accept. Around 80 percent of addicts who are confronted with this possibility accept.”
2.) Racism and voter suppression/disenfranchisement. Now I know The Trumpkin readers read racism, get triggered and cry foul. However, that doesn’t make it any less true. The two Christian Conservatives with the largest roles in The War were more honest about it than those who carry their water and shit on our Freedoms in the modern day
