Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

I've heard all the arguments but enabling doesn't solve addiction. So progressive. I know most liberal millennials have already swallowed the "the addict is the victim, and it could just as easily be you or I" BS, but go ahead and bring it on anyway. Can we not agree that every problem our City and County have put their hands on has grown immeasurably worse as a result?

    After pissing away your life on drugs, ripping off your family and destroying the natural environment with feces, trash and needles, the consequences are a free, safe, warm and dry place to shoot up and crash for several hours on my dime. Poor things. It's not their fault.

    England has been giving smack to junkies since the 70s. They don't have to steal your shit to get high.

    I understand the idea of not wanting to have people die ... I get that

    But on the other hand, have these people considered the alternative message that is being sent here that it's perfectly ok to get hopped up on smack and all the things that come with it?

    Perhaps the solution is an understanding that opioids in general are extremely dangerous and that we should be looking into alternative methods for relieving pain so that people don't get addicted to opioids to start with.

    Good for England. Seattle will fuck it up and make the problem worse. Guarantee that for every addict this gets off the street, two will arrive to take their place, just like the homeless crisis they'll slide this smack problem under the umbrella of.

    And that fucker Keith Richard has clearly built up his tolerance beyond any recorded human limit.

    The best part? Mayor twinkle toes will probably put this shit up on Aurora instead of the police station that's supposed to be built but he delayed so the minority community is better represented in design decisions.

    What difference does it make?
