I was going to mention this. Most people don't go from beer and weed and jump straight into injecting heroin. It can be a gradual fall and by the time they crave stronger and stronger highs, they're in a mental state that doesn't look at the risks logically anymore.

I think it's easy for some people to look at these situations and see a black and white scenario where the victim just chooses to be a junky. Much like the 500lbs guy at the food court or the guy laying face down on the ctrain... some people are well past the point where advice like "just make some better decisions" is going to help. I understand not being able to rile up sadness for the guy, I absolutely do. I also feel however that you should at least admit that peoples lives play out totally different from one person to the next. What happens in your life isn't completely transferrable to everybody else.
