...THEY GO TO PRISON!!!

Why isn't the media talking about THAT?

You know, the bigger and more important issue around the Demi Lovato story?

It's always bothered me how we just overlook this kinda stuff. If we are supposed to feel sorry for Demi Lovato....is she going to cooperate with authorities and tell us where she was getting her heroin from? Has anyone even asked her that yet? Who was her dealer? Has that dealer been arrested? Where is the source of the heroin making its way into California? Are the authorities actively taking action to shut it down? Because I don't think they are.

I just see headlines saying that she is addicted and how we all need to feel sorry for drug addicts. How even famous, wealthy, attractive celebrities can suffer from "depression". How we never know the true struggle in someone's heart and mind.

All this romanticism.

But completely overlooking the real issue.

Why isn't she in jail? Who was her dealer? Has there even been a criminal investigation of any kind? And, more importantly, why are you triggered by this topic? Because I'm sure some of you are now.

Correct. In other words: the system is flawed and we can't fix it unless we talk about it.

The media should be jumping all over this aspect of the story.

Let's put it this way: You use heroin, you OD, the people with you get rid of all the heroin and paraphernalia before the authorities show up, what happens?

What's the legal charge?

Well, what I'm wondering is.....Demi Lovato admitted to being addicted to heroin. And she has even gone to rehab.

Now, I'm not a wealthy celebrity....I actually live in the real world.....so I'm not sure exactly how this works.

Upon admitting her problem, were the authorities involved in any way? Can you just walk into a rehab clinic with no questions asked? Can the police walk into rehab clinics and ask people questions about the drugs they took, where they got them? What is the name and address of their dealers, etc?

Because, the way I see it, being a rational human being.........if cops did that, and people REFUSED to cooperate, they'd be aiding and abetting.

Has anyone even asked where Demi Lovato was getting her heroin from? Because I don't think anyone has asked that. And I find that pretty strange.

lolwut? Literally anybody can go to rehab for drug abuse, assuming they can afford it. With celeb ODs, the cops usually aren't involved at all because somebody else finds the person. The people who get arrested for possession are the guys cops bust buying the stuff or find passed out in a park.

Otherwise, there are countless programs now that offer rehab instead of prison (especially for heroin) and it's a growing trend (thanks to propaganda pieces blaming doctors and drug companies for the heroin crisis), so this topic is even stupider.

If they don't find any drugs or paraphernalia they have nothing to charge you with. And yes, you can just walk into a treatment center with no questions asked.

No, this is completely illegal. Treatment centers are considered medical facilities. You can even evade the police or your parole officer there because they can't come inside and ask if you're a patient there because you have HIPAA rights.

You only go to prison if they get caught with the shit and all the articles associated with it

You dont go to jail just for being a known user, which is what celebrities are. They never really get caught with anything, we just know its one of their habits. And we often find out after theyve checked into rehab voluntarily or been convinced to.

Youre getting irate about an injustice that doesnt quite exist really

Give them education about rehabilitation programs. A lot of addicts want to get clean but they feel helpless or dont know what they can do or who can help them. Its worked in some countries and its worth a shot here considering imprisoning people for drug use hasnt proven to help the matter.

But I'm not talking about the guys who can get better through just rehab, I'm talking about repeat offenders who, in the absence of any punitive enforcement mechanism, go through the motions, get clean, and then just re-offend (possibly even killing themselves because their immunity has been reset). Obviously rehab needs to be on the table -- after all, the whole point of the prison system should be to rehab criminals for general society -- but it seems like you need at least *some* punitive measure to discourage usage as well. It's not really an either/or thing.

So let me get this straight:

Selling, purchasing, and possessing hard drugs like cocaine and heroin is illegal, yes?

But just having them in your system and being addicted is perfectly legal and you can seek treatment and not have to fear legal repercussions, yes?

So if a person who has drugs in their system can't be arrested.............why in the hell can't the police interrogate these people and demand to know where they got their drugs from in the first place?

Demand the identity and location of their dealers. Go to the source. Arrest the bastard. Because while the "victim" might be seeking rehab and can't be arrested.....the DEALER is the one breaking the law.

Can't cops do that? There should be cops at every rehab clinic, interviewing everyone. Doing investigations. Setting up stings.

And if the addicts refuse to give up their dealers........then they are aiding and abetting criminals, which IS an arrestable offense.

These pathetic addicts don't get to walk free unless the dealers go down.

Given that people generally don't believe that an OD will happen to them but worry about prison, I'd say that the latter is probably the more effective threat.

No, they obviously can't. That violates all kinds of ethical standards and discourages people from seeking treatment. I mean, wtf, dude?

Plus it's not like they don't know who most of the street-level dealers are anyway, especially given how many have priors for dealing.

Good chance that they don't know who the dealer is, where to find them, if they're an actual source or just a lone wolf selling stuff they bought from someone else. Not to mention threats of violence. Drug dealers hurt and kill people. People who just possess drugs have enough run-ins with the law to know that just possession isn't going to keep them locked up for very long, whereas they know drug dealers will literally kill people for stealing paltry amounts of money or even intangible things like disrespect.

And where do you propose we get the resources to hold all these addicts indefinitely while waiting for them to rat out their dealers? Jails and prisons are already booked to the limit with murderers, rapists, child molesters, batterers, money launderers, identity thieves, dealers who have gotten caught.

Choosing to do illegal drugs leads to a messy and dangerous road. Comes with the territory of deciding to break the law.

Cops should have every right to ask these addicts where they got their drugs from. Their name, physical description, contact numbers, etc.

If the addict doesn't want to "rat out" their dealer.....then they are aiding and abetting. It's really as simple as that.

I'm tired of druggies getting sympathy instead of justice.

I can tell you from personal experience that the opposite is true. Almost every OD that I respond to has their own narcan kit now.

Hey, genius, people arent ODing from fentanyl because theyre looking for fentanyl. Theyre ODing from fentanyl because fentanyl is becoming a more common cutting agent. So shut the fuck up and stop saying stupid shit like you have for the last year.

And as far as the TCs question is concerned, they can ask where the drugs are coming from, theyre just not necessarily going to get an answer. But based off your previous topics Im concerned on what your hypothetical use for drugs or pheromones might be.

jail is for people who commit non-consensual crimes
litterally every topic being upvoted on reddit says that we need more health services to keep people from commiting crimes

butthurt that people are using painkillers when doctors make them so hard to access or make them addicted in the first place
nothing you say has anything to do with reality it's just a personal vendetta because you can't own up to your own stupid mistakes

I literally have no fucking clue what youre trying to say with that ridiculous, incoherent post.

we're talking about how when people abuse painkillers they're more likely to get treatment if they fall into a certain economic class/race rather than go to jail

Police can't force somebody into rehab. They can be forced to go to the hospital but not an actual rehab program.

I wasn't arguing with that, just don't appreciate the reference to intersectional oppression Olympics.

Cops should have every right to ask these addicts where they got their drugs from. Their name, physical description, contact numbers, etc.

If the addict doesn't want to "rat out" their dealer.....then they are aiding and abetting. It's really as simple as that.

It's no where near as simple as that.


Of course it is.

It's only "complicated" when the media focuses on the emotional aspect of it all. And Hollywood's romanticism of drug-use doesn't help.

Hunt the dealers down. Make them pay.

If the buyers don't want to give up their dealers, then they are aiding and abetting.

It isn't. Fucking read.

Good chance that they don't know who the dealer is, where to find them, if they're an actual source or just a lone wolf selling stuff they bought from someone else. Not to mention threats of violence. Drug dealers hurt and kill people. People who just possess drugs have enough run-ins with the law to know that just possession isn't going to keep them locked up for very long, whereas they know drug dealers will literally kill people for stealing paltry amounts of money or even intangible things like disrespect.

And where do you propose we get the resources to hold all these addicts indefinitely while waiting for them to rat out their dealers? Jails and prisons are already booked to the limit with murderers, rapists, child molesters, batterers, money launderers, identity thieves, dealers who have gotten caught.

Who did they "aid and abet?" How do you know that the drugs were purchased by a user? How do you know that the drugs were purchased at all?

The first element for a charge of aiding and abetting is the commission of a crime. You don't even know that a drug deal went down.

This is pretty simple, if they did not get it elsewhere then they're a producer and so can be arrested for a loooong time. If they don't reveal their supplier then they helped the dealer commit a crime (supplying them).
