      theyre using them to generate a stigma and further alienate addicts.

      addicts dont wanna be felt sorry for they want help. awareness has never done anything for anyone especially addicts. people see them as scum and have no desire to actually change policy.

        I mean, yeah, I can’t really feel sorry for a drug addict. They did it to themselves. I’m out here raw dogging it sober every day.
