"I'm almost confident everyone I know will die"

He says of the people he supplies with illegal drugs. It's like they're oblivious to the connection with the drugs, and the wreck those people have made of their lives and their area of the city.

Active addiction leads to death one way or another, fent contamination in the black market drug supply ends those lives a whole lot sooner.

Thank you, China. Although now it's less contamination than the offered product. Very likely to become even more prevalent if the Taliban continue their anti-opium policies.

As for 'free drugs', I wouldn't oppose camps set up for addicts where they could take all the drugs they want. Free drugs, but you can't go back out and contaminate society. It would be like an assisted suicide camp they would enjoy, up until the end.

We have marijuana stores here, and shrooms are decriminalized, but addictive drugs are too compelling for some percentage of users. For them, there would be a place to go as their life falls apart and they can't afford to buy on the street anymore. Food, shelter, and free drugs until they finally break free from this life.

I might consider it if I didn't already know all governments lie and break their promises.

Agreed, although maybe better than life as a street addict. Otherwise, not all that appealing.

I can tell you from personal experience, drugs get boring without purpose and fulfillment. Just experiencing is not enough. Engagement and action and doing is necessary. And substantial actions for meaningful purpose require planning and thought, which is difficult or impossible if impaired.
