It is not conservative or liberal in ideology. It doesn't care what socio-economic group you belong too. It doesn't even care what god you happen to pray too. It just is.<br /><br />It is a disease that centers in two almond-sized portions of the brain, just above the ears, called the amygdule. It is impersonal. It doesn't care who or what it effects in your world.<br /><br />I happen to suffer from that disease. And yes, I have a responsibility to maintain my disease so I won't die from it just like someone who has cancer or diabetes. For me that means not using.<br /><br />But it took a while for me to get where I am and I didn't get there alone, nobody does. I'm fortunate that I don't have AIDS as a byproduct of my disease. I know people that do. They take responsibility for that. Nobody made them stick a needle in their arm. <br /><br />But if you had the power to stop that piece of the devastation from happening, why would you not? It’s only a needle. But it could mean the difference between someone having some hope of a life after they have been fortunate enough to have gotten off of drugs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-12421335734344960612009-12-31T18:28:56.163-06:002009-12-31T18:28:56.163-06:00So 307, your moral is ...society should give them ...So 307, your moral is ...society should give them herion, MJ, whatever, since they can't help themselves?

Even the addict often cannot believe that the disease has led them to do these things.<br /><br />So, consequences are bountiful for an addict; jail, prison, bad family relationships, poor health, sometimes death, loss of all worldly possessions, and possibly insanity. And then there is the incomprehensible demoralization.<br /><br />So, take heart anons - it's only a clean needle. The living hell that addiction is will continue for the addict. I assure you they will suffer.<br /><br />Happy Holidays!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-90876138191408961342009-12-30T21:06:01.485-06:002009-12-30T21:06:01.485-06:00As long as drug abusers are pampered by society th...As long as drug abusers are pampered by society they will continue to abuse drugs. Offering these people an easier way to get drugs only encourages them to continue their lifestyle. At some point people have to take personal responsibility.

When officers begin issuing a ticket to those drug idiots with a crack pipe, they can give them a needle and suggest that they switch over to injection. Maybe Grits could reach down deep into his liberalness and write up a pamphlet for officers to give out, explaining how it really is better for the drug idiot to pay a fine and start using a needle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-46177084463648861252009-12-29T08:48:10.815-06:002009-12-29T08:48:10.815-06:00Needle exchange is one of many harm reduction poli...Needle exchange is one of many harm reduction policies that could and should be implemented.
