For all the general talk about destigmatizing opioid use, it’s mostly related to one particular sub-set of users.
With decriminalization now abandoned, it makes you wonder if the principle behind it is up for discussion. “Avoid using stigmatizing imagery, exaggerated violence, criminalization, and overdose-related mortality. Media should not pathologize drug use, and instead, should incorporate the faces and stories of people who use drugs to communicate their real-world experiences.”
The most incongruous thing about decriminalization was that in many situations, there were no penalties for using a lethally addictive drug in a public spot, but people smoking cigarettes were subject to fines and tickets.
