But understanding the cause of the problem doesn’t resolve the current issues.

I feel for people but Jesus Christ like we’re allowing this to take over society at the expense of your average person. Must be awesome for that family walking by the TD seeing crack heads smoking behind the window. Or shortly after the one being loaded onto a stretcher and in the back of an ambulance.

Figure this shit out. Just continually legalizing things to reduce a stigma at the expense of the safety and comfort of your “regular” citizens is getting to be ducking insaneeeeee.

And that’s just speaking the addiction side let alone these people who are violently shoplifting with hundreds of offences only to be continually reoffending. Get these people off the streets.

To further my point, and to prove it’s not just me being me, while we were out we were with friends who live in Australia who visit every year because their family lives right around the corner from us, this year had a new baby with them. Even they were like wow.. it’s gotten REALLY bad eh?

I’m like yea I guess I’m jaded by it but it kinda underlines the point when you come once a year and it’s a stark difference with the open drug use and homeless increasing as much as it has.

At least Ukraine has its 10 billion dollar relief fund. Not like that could have funded recovery beds or anything.

I came out of the gym last night around 7:15 PM, there is a couple and then a single parents each pushing a stroller and they are together in a group. They stop on the sidewalk in a weird spot with nothing around but they're in between myself and my truck. As I'm walking I'm like wtf are they doing? Then I see it, crack pipes.

I lost my sister to addiction, all those years of dealing with her bullshit when she was using made me very callous when it comes to addicts and I certainly didn't start out that way. I have no sympathy, all my good will and willingness to help is long burned up.
