I can't help but feel I'm a bad person for this.

Whenever I see someone that passed away from ODing my initial thought is "shouldn't have got hooked on them in the first place"

Well don't expect people to have any sympathy for your problems in return then

There's a former addict on my Facebook that tries to shame people that don't have sympathy for drug ODs

Yeah, addiction is a disease but you could just like, not do the drugs

Not really.
It's generally well taught that drugs are bad and to not use them.
You're actively putting poison into your body.
I have little sympathy.
Addicts on the other hand, I do have sympathy for. It's interesting to me.

I just know people with life threatening diseases. A friend of mine recently had a double lung transplant. I have heart problems and I know of someone that just beat cancer.

I see people abusing their bodies with drugs and just feel zero sympathy when people I know are going through their own health concerns and never touched a drug a day in their life.

You could say that same thing about obesity, lol. People die from that too, e.g. premature heart attacks and stuff.

I don't get your comment.
If I die of liver failure I'd expect no sympathy either.

I don't think it's as messed up as those people who have an overwhelming love for all animals and then just don't give a fuck at all about human suffering. This attitude seems common among vegans I know.

What if someone was prescribed a medication from a doctor and the pharmacist fucked up and gave them a much higher dose and they died?

I feel bad when some people die due to this, but I don't feel bad for drug addicts. Stop doing the drugs. Its that easy. "Its not that easy". Yeah, it is, stop doing the fucking drugs. I've done my fair share of shit and I never got hooked on anything because I'm not weak like these people.

Not for physical addicts.
I mean i can go weeks without drinking if I want to have done so before to save up money for stuff I want.
But if I were physically addicted, I'd be fucked.

Yes it's messed up

Consider how they got there

A large number of ODs in the Midwest are ones that stemmed from people not having proper access to pain management care and they end up hooked on drugs because it deals with the pain.

There's the people who end up hooked on hard stuff because they start with weed but then their dealer gives them a freebie of something harder. Because they'll do just as much time selling one drug as another the dealer doesn't care. They just want really consistent business even if they kill them. And people get hooked to the new stuff.

The biggest way to combat drug abuse and ODs is legalization and improved medical care for all... But this is america and big pharma doesn't want that, insurance doesn't want that, police don't want that, for-profit prisons don't want that, the rich don't want that. Etc.

Barnaby Jack, he was a famous hacker/computer security expert who was famous for these demonstrations he would do at hacking conferences, like in one he live-hacked an ATM on stage and had it shoot out tons of money.

I smoked over a pack of cigarettes a day for about 7 and a half years. I quit cold turkey.

If you want to quit something, you can.

I live in a big house and it's handy to have a pair of running shoes so that it doesn't take me forever to get from one area of the house to another.
