Reply to comment by Eirikur_da_Czech in California looking into paying drug addicts to stay sober by pirate_republic

I would be very surprised if people started an expensive crack addiction just to get paid money to stop it.

Something like this has already been successful keeping vets off the booze.

How are they supposed to prove that they’re addicted? Show their receipts? You think someone desperate wouldn’t do crack to get money?

So I guess the solution for those literally desperate enough to start a life destroying habit just to make enough money to survive is to just let them die. Right bucko?
