Being an addict can push you to do bad things to get your fix. Doesn't mean you're a bad person. You just in the grips of a serious addiction.
I have a few friends who have gone down the rabbit hole and aren't coming out. I still care for them but all I can do is help when I can in basic day to day stuff. Like clean their kitchen or laundry.
I have an open invitation to anyone that when they're ready to try and get put of it, I'll take em wherever they need to go and get them started.
Problem is, for some who are self medicating their mental health issues, they've already been rung through the government support system and come out worse than when they went in, with poor prescription monitoring, proper guidance and a administrative system that is compassionless for the most part. So they won't ask for help to clean up and just keep self medicating.
Clean safe drugs is probably the best the government can do right now because from what I've seen, nothing else they do seems to help.
