Nobody is stopping you from writing a cheque...

stewie: you know it doesn't have to be 1 or the other?

no one here is advocating that we give them pipes and needles and that's it. it's part of a complete plan to help the people who need help.

however folks will still do drugs. be it diehards, or folks with relapses. so the point is to simply make that situation a bit safer because it WILL happen. and ideally if/when they truly quit, hopefully they do so without having a disease(s) so they can function like regular folks.

believe me, i personally donate and my company also donates to local charities. but a society behind a cause will make much more of a difference than an individual person
