Sounds like a disproportionate application of justice.

ok, well how about instead of culling, we lock the addict up simply for being an addict?

So you talk about addicts while having little knowledge of them, eh?

Or do you suffer the delusion that those addicted to prescribed drugs are not addicts?

Prescribed drugs tend to be legal and that is a key difference.

they are administered professionally and tend to calm people down
.

Unlike meth, crack etc.. which make people crazy.

BULL!

An addict is an addict, the legality of their addiction doesn't change the fact it's an addiction.

I never said it did, the OP is apparnetly fine with those addicted to legal drugs while thinking those addicted to illegal drugs are the scourge of the earth.

Nah. Have you ever known any addicts?
Most are very moderate when they have reliable source.

eliminating use should be the priority here
You can do that too... for those inclined to (as I noted and you ignored)
Quote:
Those inclined to break an addiction c/should get meaningful support.
Those inclined to wallow in it c/should be allowed to kill themselves in peace.
but that is still a different level to the question from criminality UNTIL they're clean...
or even whether (at a public health or social work level) they even need to be clean.

There is no reason to cull anyone. The solution is fairly simple...


Legalize all drugs, and they will cull themselves.

And if they actually are out committing a crime while under the influence of narcotics, give them the death penalty.

In addition, you should also abolish the welfare state. So you have to actually work to eat and live.



Problem mother ****ing solved... Anything else you want me to fix?
