Addiction isn’t treated like a criminal issue anymore. It can now be treated like the health issue it is and people will get the correct help they need. Locking someone up for having a addiction IS NOT the way to fix it https://twitter.com/thehoustangeles/status/1324019362370641920
I’m super passionate about decriminalizing all drugs. There’s several countries who have had VERY positive results in doing so. Decriminalizing drugs is the first step to changing the stigma surrounding them and the first step into actually saving lives and fighting addiction
My mother is a ex addict and the negative stigma of addiction is why she waited so long to get help. A lot of people feel this way. These negative ass stigmas are around because people are getting locked up and arrested for non criminal crimes. America has this
very paternal “I know what’s best for you” type of thing going on and I hate it so fucking much.
