Enabling bad behavior is not compassion. It is quite the opposite. I'm all for helping someone that's fallen on hard times. That means helping them get back up. Those that don't make an effort to get back up have chosen their lifestyle and we shouldn't enable it in the slightest.

Giving out narcan is just the same as offering abortions. You want to use recreational drugs? Suffer the consequences. You want unprotected casual sex? Suffer the consequences. Stop enabling bad behavior.

You did read what I wrote, right? I never condone bad behaviour and in fact said

"Compassion without thoughtfulness and just laws is a vice."

Some people are drawn into that world for any number of reasons, but that shouldn't make it a death sentence. Its not the drug users sole fault, especially when the government built the system that creates the trap they're in. Enablement isn't compassionate and California's a perfect example.
