Got around to listening to this
She says one of the most powerful contributors to potential for addiction is simple access. Even moreso than a history of trauma, social inequality, or unemployment
“If you live in an area where drugs are easily accessible, you are more likely to become addicted to them”
You don’t say?? So we should crack down via police on drugs being trafficked across our border and peddled to our poorest citizens on the streets?
Nahhh. And the way they justify in this podcast not cracking down on these is muddying the waters by conflating addicts with dealers: “imprisoning drug addicts is not the solution”. No one is saying anything about the addicts. What about the fucking DEALERS. Weird no discussion about that huh? Because cracking down on dealing hard drugs should not be a controversial position. It should be obvious. But it’s not. Whiny advocates keep coming in and muddying the waters by conflating addicts with dealers and distributors
