The first step to stopping addiction is taking care of addiction. These people getting hot shots and bad drugs is a massive tax on the system and you can't help them if they all die.

But it doesn't matter as the issue is currently political poison and won't get touched in a meaningful way for another ten years at least. We're going to go back to trying to hide the problem rather than trying to fix it and normies and nimbys will be happy with that since if they can't see it, it's not happening.

Addiction, homelessness and drug issues aren't that much worse than they were. The issues that are up are over doses and that we can see it happening.
