Did you never hear about the country's failed war on drugs during one of your regular Tucker marathons?

This is interesting because the clinical model for families of individuals who are addicted to hard drugs is to make it as inconvenient to use as possible. You’ll never hear a good substance abuse counselor tell a family member “yknow what? Give up. He’s gonna do what he’s gonna do and there’s nothing you can do to prevent it” They’ll suggest things like setting boundaries designed to make it harder to use. Because to do the opposite whether that’s doing nothing or making it EASIER to use will have a near 100% failure rate in terms of their sobriety
Yet for some reason when applied to a population at large politicians (guided by experts in the mental health field supposedly) choose to do the opposite
Now, this does NOT apply to the clean needle policies. They sound fucked up, but the reverse also has a 100% failure rate in terms of creating sobriety. There isn’t a single heroin addict anywhere who will decide to not use and instead suffer withdrawal because his needle is old and dirty. What he will do is give himself HEP C, AIDS, and MRSA. Now a sociopathic person might think “which will kill him and solve the problem”, but that’s not true. They are entitled to through Medicaid medical coverage when they have no income. This means they will be hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars drain on the healthcare system due to the blood borne pathogens they give themselves
And it’s fun to see Horza act like he cares about drug users when he just laughed at one a few pages back. Fake internet troll bot is fake
