"Instead of dealing with drug use and sales as a medical problem, and proposing solutions along those lines"

So to project the homeless from getting swept up in the net of this injustice, you're willing to lend your voice to re-inforce the injustice of treating drug USE and drug SALES as problems only of a different type?

Drug use is not drug abuse. Only fascists paint all drug use with the same brush. Whether it's Vicodin with a prescription for someone's back pain, or crystal meth for someone trying to work 2 jobs, drug use can be well within a person's rights.

Drug sales isn't even medical! It's economic, and it's only a "problem" if you own stock in Bayer Pharmaceutical or some other mega-corp drug cartel trying to crush affordable home-grown (or home-cooked) generic alternatives to their over-priced monopolized patented fancy chemicals.

The homeless are surely victims of injustice and repression, but this business of betraying Peter to spare Paul is divisive, dishonest, and only fragments the social justice movement. The homeless aren't the only victims, and helping the real criminals to create more victims in another political neighborhood is sick and wrong.
