Yeah but I have a hard time understanding how it’s a mistake when literally we are raised being told that shit is bad. But I agree, no one deserves to get there life ruined, I just have a hard time empathizing with something so avoidable

Think about the lack of drug safety education a lot of poorer communities have. Or lack of job opportunities. Or simply differences in genetics that make certain people more vulnerable to addiction. Or chronic injuries that were treated with unnecessarily strong prescription drugs that then got people hooked on opioids. No particular shade to you OP but acting like this is purely a personal failing is just a lack of understanding of how different all of our own personal struggles are

Acting like people don’t know it’s bad to do heroin

Never said that, I’d agree that most people know “it’s bad to do heroin”. However if you get hooked on prescription pain meds that a doctor gave you for an injury you can easily get hooked on opioids and then heroin is just what you need to resort to once they stop giving you the pain meds that got you addicted in the first place.

Also it’s bad to do a lot of things but most things can’t ruin your life as quickly as heroin. It’s bad to smoke cigarettes or do molly but both of those substances have room to make a mistake and not immediately be fucked. Doing heroin even once or twice is enough to ruin peoples lives. We can’t condemn people for making a single dumb mistake just because the consequences are outsized

And lack of education does play a big role here. If you don’t have adequate drug education then you likely don’t know which drugs are worse than others, which can lead to bad decision making
