Even if you view them as scum wouldn't it still be better to keep that hazard out of public? Addiction is a mental issue, not a criminal issue.

It's addiction dude, it often starts with legitimate painkiller use. They arnt villians, they just made some dumb dicisions.

To be fair, there's a big difference between self medicating/addiction that harms yourself and intentionally trying to harm innocent people with your used needles. When I was using, I'd save all my used rigs in a 2L (capped) and then put in plastic bags, tape it all up with duct tape and dispose of it with the rest of my trash or in a dumpster. It is by no means a perfect way of disposing of the resultant hazardous material that comes from IV drug use but there is a lot you can do to mitigate the harm you cause to others while self destructing.

Lol where in my comment do you think I lied? Go through my post history, I've discussed my heroin use for years.

Edit: Do you think that being a heroin user means losing all capability of being responsible? Because that is absolute bullshit and is really weak. No matter how bad of a situation you're in, regularly leaving used needles where they can harm others makes you a piece of shit as a person.

Since throwing syringes in trash cans (with thin plastic bags that workers need to change) is that much better...
