Most drugs that are illegal are because of the harm inflicted on
others while under their influence and the long term health
issues.
Many that use these drugs do not have health coverage and
become a burden on state and federal agencies to care for
them and cause the loss millions of dollars in tax payers funds
used for their care.

I can see your point of view even though I do not agree with it.
Its like those that say, “I shouldn’t be required to wear a
helmet when I ride my motorcycle!”

The reason for the helmet law was and is because when a
motorcyclist is in an accident, several agencies of the state
and hospital systems have to pay the bills for these motorists
that usually have no medical insurance.

Let me ask you this: If you were to have a seizure and be in a
hospital for 6 months due to your drug use, are you able to
pay your expenses or will your state, hospital system and the
taxpayers pay your expenses?

Everyone that complains seems to be focused only on their
rights and could care less about the millions of dollars being
wasted on their needless medical expenses that rob those
that really need the help because it drains the state and
hospital systems of the operational funds to help those who
are sick instead of those not smart enough to not use drugs
and ***** their self up.

If you are going to ***** yourself up using drugs, sign a wavier
so you can just die and get it over with. But you won’t. Because
after you ***** yourself up, you demand and feel you are
owed the medical treatment that those that are sick may be
denied just because of your right to ***** yourself up.

You made a conscious choice to put your life in danger. The
sick don’t have that option. And may not be able to get the
medical help they need because the medical system is
drained by those invoking their right to do as they please
even if robs others of their rights and medical treatments.

All of you say you are right until your drugs catch up with you.
Then its up to others to clean up after you and provide
thousands of dollars in funding which in most cases is
needless since you will just go back out and ***** yourself
up invoking your rights again.

Those on drugs I have met aren’t able to understand what I
have said here. Anything that robs them of their right to do as
they please and removes their right to rob others of their rights
is unacceptable.

We will never agree on this subject. You feel my tax dollars are
to be used if you need them. I don’t feel my tax dollars should
be used for addicts. But fortunate for you, I don’t have a say
in it!

This is one of your statements:

I am asking why the sudden change in perception where before morphine was just a helpful cough medicine/pain suppressant it is now demonized without it being inherently bad in any way and is in fact helpful in many ways.

Morphine is not harmless unless in a small dose. It was used
as a pain suppressant but most people became addicted to it.
Morphine will shut your kidneys down if used on a regular basis.
