Harm prevention works in reducing total number of junkies as well as HIV transmissions and crime.

Just look at the case of Portugal. In 1999 1% of the whole population was using heroin. It was a giant problem. But instead of taking the burger route and killing everyone that slightly smells of weed, we decriminalize the usage, and redirect the addicts to 'help centers' where they meet with a doctor, a social assistant and maybe a lawer?, not sure. But it's like to make an assesment of the situation of that person, and recommend next steps.

I fully 100% support all drug decriminalization if with it comes the necessary care. You can't just decriminalize and leave the people to their own fate. You need to actively help. and help it did.

Links to read more bellow, if you are interested. And if you think the junkies should all go to prison, then I really encourage you to read it to see it from the other side.

It's a government in America, specifically New York. You know that they won't get them treatment, and just enable them to keep pooping on public transport. Why are you pretending that anything different would happen?

Top 4 in the peace index. Never saw a crime take place. Never had any fear while walking, even at night and alone. It's a pretty good country if you have money. I didn't had enough money to live like a king, so I immigrated.
