tweet by Johann Hari: The core of addiction is not wanting to be present in life, because pour life is too painful a place to be. This is why imposing more pain or punishment on a person with an addiction problem actually makes their addiction worse.
I would hope that decent, mental health treatment would be the first option until drugs are decriminalized. You wouldn’t need drugs if people weren’t self-medicating.
That’s barely even an option for most people who aren’t struggling with drug problems.
It should be for everyone that needs or wants it.
