And to prevent incorrect disposal of paraphernalia. And to offer help to drug addicts so they eventually quit their addiction and quit having to shoot up near schools.
No. Those are things that it would be nice to do, but they are not critical, they are not the point, they are incidental. It is not worth sacrificing human lives so that people don't have to see needles, clearly if there is a choice that has to be made, the point of this is to save the life. It is not worth sacrificing human lives to shuffle people around and make them shoot up where you're okay with them shooting up. You are not that important. This is a public health measure, to prevent people from fucking dying. I don't know why you want to resist seeing it in those terms.
Oh no absolutely I agree with you, they are human beings and deserve love and help, I'm just coming down to the other user's level of not caring for others and only caring about "what's in it for me".
Didn't notice that the speaker had changed, sorry
Hah no worries, gets hectic in Lemmy comments π
