Supervised Injection: Foreword by Kit Carruthers
"Oh I'm a supervised injection clinic operator, I'm outsiiiiiide the walls of society thinking." You're not even close, you're not even close. This dark force that is the other side of the drugs'r'bad drugs'r'good society wall is still something far too complicated for you to grasp, you're still very much within society thinking, you're just grasping in the dark at the idea of there being something worth thinking about on the other side of the wall.
A lot of the people who go to these clinics, they're within the imposed expectation life destruction aspect of the drugs'r'good segment that allows for you people to self confirm. Their oversimplified understanding only reinforces your oversimplified understanding, though you still don't fully get it.
Look at this as cold statistics, we're trying to reduce overdose deaths, prevent infection, give people access to health services, take these people out of the general public.
What you're doing in this moment is being the society people giving the broken society people permission to retain being a society person who doesn't function properly. Now what you have created is a force within the drugs'r'bad society side of the wall attempting to destroy the drugs'r'bad society side of the wall. Yes you are, you are normalizing drug use to the society people who don't understand drug use. You have not broken the wall and engaged with these people like you thought you have. Cold statistics say you are creating more of a mass problem than you are solving. You wanted to use cold statistics to help the individual and thereby help the collective, cold statistics say this brand of helping the individual causes more harm to the collective.
Your system of labels remains inadequate, things are more complicated. However you did a lot better with your thinking than everybody else who remains on your side of the wall.
