If they had kicked out self-righteous thieves and their christian counterparts out of law decisions cocaine and heroin would be legal and we wouldn't be having the walking dead roaming around getting their fix off of cheap and dangerous substitutes

bizarre A 19 years old homeless drug addict shows the state of his body.
Hardcore substance addicts, particularly IV users, have almost exclusively been horrifically abused as children. Often a combination of physical (inc sexual) and emotional abuse combined with neglect. This situation leads to a huge amount of unhealthy shame, which in turn creates a detachment from ‘the self’ and huge amounts of ‘pain’ that the person tries desperately to ease. If something such as a drug works, it gets used more, and in the traumatised brain the neurology of addiction develops.
Active addiction to anything re-wires the primitive survival instincts, placing the ‘addiction’ in the top spot above all other survival impulses (hunger, thirst, sex etc). Cravings stem from this. The easiest way to understand cravings is to imagine yourself dying of dehydration, and how would your brain think about water just before death?
The addiction process also disrupts connections to the frontal lobe leading to extreme difficulty making rational conscious decisions. Explained here (clip from an amazing educational film Pleasure Unwoven)…
As well as the extensive professional experience I have had with addicts, as many here know I am a recovering addict myself. I hit my 3 years sober mark 2 days ago. Opiates and alcohol were my ‘rock bottom’ landing me in rehab for 6 weeks. I’m grateful for all the experience this gave me as I learned the relevant things to become the happiest person I’ve ever been, a better husband, father and doctor. I also know what craving are like, they are genuine torture, and lead addicts to do ‘insane’ things to try and stop them.

That dude filming was shook as hell, genuinely horrified at what he was seeing.
Incorrect. An ER is obligated to treat someone with an emergent medical condition (as this clearly is) regardless of ability to pay. This fact is very well-known in the US.

The road to success is filled with potholes....
The sad thing is that there are others out there like him who have given up. Only 19, wow.....

Jesus christ looks like me
All you can do is hope. It doesn’t end well a lot of the times for addicts. You either get lucky and get another chance, or you don’t.
Fuck you....heartless bastard
Was that a black man getting emotional because it has feelings and felt bad for another living being? Jesus Christ on a fuckin popsicle stick I might be a little less racist for today.
Dies nameless and faceless. At least he's not in a third world so he gets to be a statistic at the very least...

I'm one soppy cow!
As terrible as addiction is, all I could think about when watching the guy drain his abscess., was the poor cleaner that was possibly faced with cleaning it up.
Mind you, he could have cleaned it up himself.

That's not at all rare. Most addicts are functional before they are not. Some can remain functional for years or throughout their entire lives. You probably know more addicts than you think you do.
