As a libertarian, I understand The War on Drugs & criminalization of drug use is the REASON so many heroin & opiate addicts — like this woman, who needs HELP, not filmed — can’t get the addiction treatment they need. Legalization reduces overdose related deaths, not increases it. https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1391112537156907010
Galaxy-brain friend over here seems to forget that this woman — who is someone’s daughter, someone’s friend, who had dreams & hopes & deserves to still — is being filmed in America, where heroin is *already* illegal. So clearly criminalization isn’t working, by his own admission.
I think I’m going to delete this thread, as honestly I’m quite uncomfortable with contributing to the video being spread any further (even if my doing so was to criticize Ian for posting it). That woman needed help, not filming,& she doesnt lose her right to privacy because of it
