johnwehrle, 11 months ago to random Spicy take: There's no simple fix to socially debilitating rampant drug use and overdose. Criminalization doesn't work and causes a lot of harm. Decriminalization isn't exactly working either. There is no way to force addicts to genuinely participate in their own rehab. And non-addicts should not have to accept whatever kind of life addicts foist upon them. That's called codependency. Don't accept simple answers. #OverdoseCrisis #Decriminalization Gift WaPo https://wapo.st/3pDYcCO
