Drug use in and of itself is heavily stigmatized, causing people to be “discarded” and ostracized as deeply ingrained in - for example- USA culture.

Their drug use wasn’t a problem in and of itself until other people decided to treat them differently.

When I say their drug use was a problem, I mean their drug use was a problem. I've known drug uses whose drug use was not a problem but for the majority it really was and it caused me problems in return. Stealing, lying, fights over nothing, psychotic episodes, inability to even make the most basic appointments causing lots of fall-out. Please, I really don't need to be lectured on this.

    This isn’t about individual experience, n = too low. It’s about what’s happening at the scale of society.

    And I bet there’s often more to the story than “the drugs” if you look deeper. But I‘ll stop lecturing you now.

      n = ~100 so I'm not sure what you would consider 'too low' but since you seem to can't let go I'm going to put you on ignore now. Goodbye.
