B.C. spends $132M on treatment services for substance use, recovery

What the hell are you saying man. $132M for WHAT? To help them continue to do more drugs?!

There’s NO rehab anywhere in their plan. Just treatment with more drugs. It’s like giving beer to a wine drinker. It’s a substitute.

Your first question was “Are you a bot?”

I’d rebuttal with: “Are you stupid? Or just unaware?”

I’m a man that has used drugs and fixed my issues with self medicating with shrooms. I’ve been homeless and I know what their programs are. I’ve been to the clinics and the shelters.

You on the other hand, read one fucking article and you think you understand. You have absolutely zero idea what the streets are like.

We addicts don’t get fixed from drug substitutes. It only temporarily fixes our temptations until we need it again. And the cycle continues until we need twice the amount. Then twice the amount again. Then we get cut off from their treatment because our tolerance is too fucking high. Then we go back to H. Then H becomes too weak so we look for F. Now the news is saying the drugs are “tainted”. Fuck no they aren’t tainted. That’s what we look for as addicts. When someone dies from H/F, we look for that dealer because he’s got the good stuff.

Now if you dunno what the fuck I’m talking about then you have no idea what their bullshit services are. Their services will make the city worse.

It’s great for the current time. Meaning, less people will die. But they’ll create more addicts. And it opens up a gateway to become a deeper addict.

I guarantee you the thought process behind this has something to do with politics and getting voted.

Headline: “Ever since we implemented our plan. Overdose numbers halved in one year.”

Sound like a good headline right?

Wait until 3-5 years afterwards when everyone becomes so deep into drugs that they will not be able to control it. Basically what they did in the past by “treating it”. Now they give away free drugs to prevent crime and death.

Anyways. I’m not gunna reply because I don’t think you would understand the true motive. Or the reasoning behind their plan. Personally, I dunno either. I just wish they pushed us into rehab and made rehab programs mandatory in order for welfare and social services. That would’ve given me years of my life back.
