> Junkies are a blight on civilization

Let me fix that for you: Junkies are human beings with serious medical conditions related to substance abuse and often mental illness.

As a "civilization" we are ultimately measured by how we treat our most vulnerable, because that tells you the value we place on human life.

Society needs to spend more time and effort helping people with drug addiction problems, and less time vilifying and dehumanizing them.
