Nah they are making bad jokes. They don't believe this but since they probably aren't personally affected by this issue don't care enough not to offend others.

People like this don't deserve an answer. I hope when he or his kids are stuck in the spiral of drugs, that he gets someone much more sympathetic than he clearly is, to save them.

Y'know, all those people who died of COVID no longer use drugs. That's a win in my book.

edit: /s, because it seems like people didn't realize that?

It’s more than harsh, it’s beyond ignorant.

Are you ok? Even if you were kidding your comment shows a serious lack of empathy for other people. Everyone who has OD’d has loved ones who hope beyond anything that they will get clean eventually.
I think you’re a kinder person than this, I really do.

I dont think that would stop it because there are always new people gettinf addicted.

Personally I think the best way is legalising it and deregulating to the point its cheaper than prohibited heroin. Have it bought through pharmacies.

I think there would be a drop in young users and hopefully you could stamp it out. It would probably become something like tobacco.

Of course thats a super risky policy so nobody would give it a go.
