/vent

I've been spending more time downtown recently due to DJing and cooking and it's probably a result of me being out the public more nut damn there is a drug and mental health problem in the US.

Like. Fuck. I knew it was bad. I knew it was getting even worse and i wish I had an eloquent way to say this but its "bad bad".

Like when people walk up to obviously whacked out of their gourd and start telling you a story about "how is lady stole his dog and turned everyone into pedos, and that's why he cant buy meth from you". Or the guy incoherently screaming about the merits of shape-shifting while taking a shit on the wall of an alley.....how did we as a society let these people fall so hard?

One side of me says its their life choices, they fucked up and kept making shit choices to end up like that. But I also know that addiction can turn you into the worst version of yourself, where do the choices become not your own and become the more like symptoms of a sickness that should be helped? And where is the line between useful help and socially funded enabling?

Sorry all vastly nuacned issues based on how you precive the world. Im mostly just venting. Because I dont understand how people get to be in a place like that and why we "allow it" for a lack of a better way of saying it. seems like a symtom of a larger issue...
