It won't change the stigma around people who do them
They deserve the stigma.
that said...drugs should be legal. All of them.
If someone wants to drug himself into oblivion , ruin his life or die from an overdose
that's their choice.
Life is hard.
It's harder if you're stupid.
Don't be Stupid.
but it's up to you.
YOU
Are responsible for your decisions.
I'm going to have to disagree with that. These people could've previously had a lot of great things going for them, but ruined their life with ONE bad mistake. With some of these, it could be completely by accident with opioids being prescribed daily to people with small illnesses. They can quite easily become addicted and when they're prescription is over, many will turn to heroin almost immediately. I'm not saying this is the case for everybody. But I am saying that this is the case for A LOT of people. It doesn't make them bad people at all and they don't deserve to be seen as such.
it doesn't make them bad
if in the case of over prescribed medication
they're not even stupid...
well...relying on a pill pusher..how smart is that.
but the POINT is.
everything you do is YOUR decision
With "trust your doctor" being said all the time, I don't think many people will question anything they say. If your doctor fucks up then it could really fuck you up too. I'm not saying I'm one of those people, but I know a lot who would trust their doctor over anybody any day.
yup..
If you make the decision to trust the snot-nosed wet behind the ear doc who is younger than your grandkid.
it's YOUR decision to do so.
Can't argue with that
