Nobody is arguing for less penalties for drunk driving though, or theft to support a habit, or any other crime. He was arguing we shouldn’t Narcan people who have the disease of addiction and overdosed as a result. Should we not give insulin to diabetics because they couldn’t control their eating?

I mean 1, you're absolutely wrong people can and do argue all of those things.

2 Narcan is kind of like abortion. Sure there's a time and a place, but if you're getting narcanned multiple times a month I'm starting to lose pity.

3 as someone who had a disease and almost died, sorry frick right off with that "it's a disease" bullshite. I'll give you mental disorder, but there is a difference between someone dying of cancer and someone dying because they cannot stop taking drugs or alcohol.

I'm sure they do, but not what I was when being replied to and I've yet to see it in this thread. Hell the pro legalization side are arguing the opposite, that the law needs to be enforced if someone commits a crime (other than drug use, ie against oneself).
