  • So you're okay with the government basically criminalizing and making it illegal to be a drug addict?

    • One can't work safely as a drug addict. It's a safety issue. I know you don't give a damn about other people's safety and would prefer everyone operate heavy machinery high as a kite but some of us don't want to die.

      • This is a pretty obscure situation here. You're talking about operating heavy machinery while super fucked up to justify why people can't just sip liquor and do key bumps throughout the day if they want to.

        • This is why many jobs drug test and why many drugs have been banned for recreational use. It has been proven to be a danger to others. Being drunk in public is also banned. You can't tell a company your a drug addict and want to do drugs while using a fork lift.

          • Using a forklift is incredibly specific in terms of examples here. If somebody wants to, say, drink (not get wasted) all day why is that illegal? If it takes a drug test to show you that an employee is using recreational substance then clearly it isn't a problem functionally wise.

      • As I said, such laws are specifically designed to criminalize people who use drugs on a consistent basis from leaving their house. Can't even go to the supermarket without having to worry about getting arrested for it.

        • Because your a danger to society. You can't drive safely when your all fucked up. Hell, you could cause an accident just stepping in front of traffic. It should be stigmatized. Get your shit together and quit that shit and join the human race. I mean, occasional partying is fine as long as your responsible. But to just be fucked up all day is nuts. What are you hiding from?

          • This is exactly the problem. If I want to sip vodka all day I shouldn't be allowed to cross the street? You just assume people can't handle themselves with their own daily routine? Yeah, everyone should change themselves to be just like you, bigot.

            • No you shouldn't as your judgement is impaired. You might walk out into traffic. Family of swerves do avoid your drunk ass and hits a utility pole. Bigotry has nothing to do with it. You are a menace to society and should be under lock and key.

              • That does remind me of a tweaker guy I used to know who got hit by a car, because he thought he could out run it on foot. He was actually a friend of mine until he stole $100 dollars out of my purse.

              • And If I was to cross the street fully obeying all traffic laws, and some distracted idiot mom with a minivan full of screaming children blows through a light at 50mph, it's still my fault? Should've just stayed home?

        • has yall considered that the laws are in place for a reason?

          not that id agree with all of em or the way theys enforced-for-a-tidy-profit but bein an opioid or meth or cocaine or pcp addict is absolutely awful for the body and causes peoples to do crazy and awful shit and those what supply said drugs to do even more awful shit

          its a steep cost for everyone to hafta pay for a few people who MAKE THE INITIAL CHOICE on theys own to git involved with that shit in the first place

          aside from legitimate chronic pain sufferers who got hooked on opiates by a crooked greedy medical establishment i gots no sympathy for any hard drug addicts problems that they made for thyselves and wants everyone else to bail em out of

          • So you feel perfectly comfortable grouping a whole group of people together and basically saying they should all just hide under bridges out of your site and never leave their mattress? This is the kind of bigotry I'm talking about. It hurts nobody if you're drunk on the bus.
