Fifth in a five-part series. Read part 1 here, part 2 here, part 3 here, and part 4 here.

Societal rot is a choice.

Is it compassionate to let users of marijuana, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, xylazine (aka “tranq”), or fentanyl waste away on the streets of America’s cities?

We would appreciate your donation.

No. 

Does it make sense to reverse commonsense laws that made it a felony to possess hard drugs and instead make possession a misdemeanor that rarely gets prosecuted?

No.

Is it smart public policy to pass laws that eliminate the incentive for drug addicts to get the services they need in successful drug courts?

No.

But that’s exactly what has been happening in many American cities and states. 

And the results are devastating. 

Zombies. Dead people. Filth.

Societal rot is a choice.
