Now you're back to "for their own good".

Nah for my own good. I don't want to have to deal with a tweaker when going to the shop or having my home burgled because he ran out of money and wants to take mine.

These people not being able to fuck up their lives with drugs is more a nice ancillary benefit to prohibition rather than the main feature.

Couldn't you just learn some social skills and how not to stand out instead of pushing your expensive, draconian restrictions onto society?

If heroin addicts could just leave other people alone and tweak out in private I wouldn't care.

Hardly a draconian restriction to keep people from buying heroin over the counter at CVS.

Wouldn't tweakers leave you alone if you blended in? Don't social skills really just go a long way in helping you stay and live in the urban core instead of fleeing to the suburbs?

Guess I could strip down shoot up and join the droolers.

Blending in means shuffling down the middle of the street with a shopping cart screaming at ghosts and occasionally smashing car batteries to get to the sweet sweet lithium inside.
