and, i've been clear enough, but people kneejerk on this: i've never suggested punishing users, i'd rather advocate for non-intervention altogether, but i think that the dealers should be basically executed in public.
and, i mean, that doesn't mean that people should be denied services, either. if they want help, let them come to it. and, volunteer services should deal with this.
my concern is that the resources are limited, and i don't want to see money for addicts competing with money for other services. what bothers me are outreach services, and the amount of resources wasted by the system on a problem that shouldn't exist at all.
i'm sorry; i just don't consider this something that room should be made for in the public health budget.
