Since the congregation took naloxone training in March, there’s been seven outside St. Albans. But that number is quite modest. At the drop-in centre beneath the church, where some of Ottawa’s most afflicted seek daytime refuge once the overnight shelters close, they’re doing at least one [naloxone application] a day.

It's crazy that without these drugs these folks would all be willing to give up their life for a high.

I doubt it's a rational decision by the time they're addicted.

[–] Woofcat@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sure, but people quit addictions all the time. Smoking is on a massive decline, drinking too. Somehow the drug that can kill you in an instant is so popular that churches are handing out kits to save them. Insanity.

Comparing nicotine addiction to opioid addiction is... Something.

[–] Woofcat@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Meh, opioid addiction is a waste of our time. We should let them figure it out themselves. They're all adults.

You don't understand why people are addicted to drugs

[–] Woofcat@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think you don't understand it. These people made a choice to start using drugs and got addicted. It sucks but they made that choice.

Not sure why the rest of society needs to pay for their shitty decisions.

I genuinely can't tell if you're serious or not

[–] Woofcat@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

100% serious why should I care about drug addicts and criminals killing themselves? Let them.
