Hey guess what addicts are human too and they deserve shelter, food, water, and healthcare just as much as anyone else whether or not they’re trying to “kick” addiction.
yeah lets give addicts the means to continue their addiction you’re an absolute genius. lets give them a house food water and let their family find them dead with a needle in their arm 😀 do y’all know anything about addiction. addicts are human but they have a disease.
Ya know, I was going to refute you but I realized that if you think like this then you’re actually part of the problem and you don’t actually care about others. You’re an absolute scum bag and those addicts you shame are better than you.
its easier to quit an addiction if you have stable housing and food. if the conditions of your life deteriorate, you have more reason to pursue the drug as relief or to help you sleep in inhospitable circumstances. this is not complicated, its an empirical, observable fact. the idea that you can subject people to worse and worse conditions, or just abandon them without necessities and that this will improve their chances of kicking their addiction is a fantasy meant to make people more comfortable with treating someone like shit because its hard to be around them. additionally, its fucking cruel to deny people food and housing.
Its true and you should say it
